Hi /adv/ I was wondering if you could help me.

I have an issue that I've been suffering with for a long time.

The problem I have is that I think too much about mistakes I have made in the past.

If I make a mistake, I will zone in on it and dwell on it. Thinking of how I went wrong in this way and that way.

I will try and resolve and undo anything I feel I have done wrong but I will never feel 'complete' so to speak. At least not for a long time.

Sometimes there are things that can't be undone, and they sting the most.

The things I dwell on aren't something specific which I can't get over. I can generally combat the larger things in life as I feel there is more to learn.

Really it's the little things that everyone goes through on a daily basis that I struggle with.

Losing money, forgetting something, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, making a bad impression, things like that tend to build up.

I will say though my main concern is money. A struggle we all have sometimes, I understand that.

The problem I personally have is that if I go and lose some money for whatever reason it will pain me mentally.

I sometimes feel like money is the only thing holding me back in life (and the reality is, it may be)

How do you guys cope with these feelings?
