Hello ! I was a late bloomer and only started to developing towards my late teens and 20’s. Now 24 and I cannot forgive myself for things I did when I was younger around 14/19. It drains me daily and it’s effected my mental health very badly. It wasn’t anything that hurt anyone. I feel so guilty. Things I did my family, not all still cast things up to me and this was done when I was younger. Can anyone reccomend anything?

Hi there,
Something that helped me was to think: if a friend told me these things, what would I say to him/her? I'm sure you would say, don't worry, that's in the past, we have all done things we regret, etc, etc.
For some reason we are always harder and less forgiving to ourselves than towards others.
I'm double your age, when I was in my 20's I couldn't forgive myself either, but with time you realise that nobody is perfect and EVERYBODY (really EVERYBODY) makes mistakes and have things they regret, that's just part of being human.
Be kind to yourself, we all deserve it. Wishing you the best!
