Today is just one of those days where I keep thinking about all my screw ups.. All my mistakes... But then I think...shouldn't the people who truly love me be there for them?

Hey, i'm so sorry your feeling that but personally i think you shouldn't reflect on the past. You need to look forward and do what's best for you. There's going to be times where you need someone to be here but you need to distract yourself from that thought by concentrating on achieving the goals you've set out. :)

I find myself constantly asking "what if" but in reality, im here and later I'll be somewhere else and so on. I have to take it by small increments of time. Just cause you're pissed at yourself for making bad decisions doesn't mean you can't break the cycle. Try not to be so hard on yourself and give yourself a chance to prove yourself wrong. You can do it! If I've learned anything it's that anyone who struggles through something that is emotionally trying have the emotional strength to kick the world's butt. One day at a time and if you can't do that an hour, or 5 minutes. You can do it!! I believe in you and so does everyone else here!!

@kkstaat Soooo true! Great advice.
Everyone makes mistakes and screws up, that's just life, and it's how we grow and mature in character . Not everyone is always going to be there though, and that sucks ... but the most important thing is that you're there and that you learn from your experiences, because mistakes are only mistakes when we don't learn from them.
You're going to skin your knees a lot throughout life, so
cheer up, Darlin' ;) Brush the dirt off and keep on going!

@Seattlerainn As simple as your advice appears; it’s absolutely the answer. Many yrs. ago, the bottom of my world fell out, & my dad’s advice to me was, “Just go thru the motions each day.” Being very young at the time, I THOUGHT, “What??? That’s ALL he has to offer? Is he crazy??? It just can’t be that simple!!!” Well, Dad was absolutely right! That’s really ALL we can do during times of sorrow & devastation. My dad’s simple wisdomS have been some of the BEST! Problems are often complex, but sometimes the solutions, tho not always easy to enact, are actually quite simple!
Sometimes other people do not (and don't want to) understand what "we" do...they do not know how to deal with our screw ups. The people who truly love you probably truly love you, however they perhaps are not emotionally equipped nor have the ability to cope (or help) with our irrational improprieties. It happens all the time to many people. Those who love us back off at times when
we think we need them most. I think....that is their innate response to say, hey this is YOUR battle to fight and only YOU can beat it and win. It is not their responsibility to be our sounding board and saviors of our plight. Heal yourself and in time all of nature will flow back to happier times. Your loved ones want to see you happy. It hurts them too when they see you screw up. See them hurting as well. Stay strong. This will all work out in due time.
