I'm in real need of some spiritual guidance. I have no idea what to do with myself, besides jump off a bridge, which would only instill the irony further.

Hello miwako, welcome to psych central.
First of all I think you should understand that at some point or another we all hurt others, as long as this is not what you are meaning to do then you are not bad. It sounds like you are a good person who just makes blunders from time to time, I think you will find that many of us here are like that too.
Have a look around and post more whenever you feel comfortable, this place has changed my life for the better I hope that you have a similar effect on your life.
If you have any questions feel free to private message any community liaison or moderator, here is a link to a list of forum leaders.
