There are days that I feel like a terrible excuse for a human being. I ruminate on the mean things I have said and done... the dumb mistakes I have made... the times I've expressed biased and/or prejudicial thoughts- or just had them.


I've shared these thoughts with my wife and therapist and they both argue with me and tell me that I'm way too hard on myself, and that I ruminate about past mistakes way too much.

Do you struggle with similar thoughts? What solutions have you found? Or if you haven't had similar thoughts, what advice would you give me?
