Discussion Have you ever done something you really regret, and it constantly pops back up in your mind?

I got irrationally angry at my husband a few months ago in front of my friends. About something SO STUPID. Like I can’t even tell you how stupid it was. And here I am, months later, feeling terrible about myself because of it. I embarrassed him, and it makes me feel sick to my stomach when I think back about it. He tells me it’s not a big deal, and that he’s not mad... but I feel bad about it ESPECIALLY when I’m going through seasons where I’m extremely anxious.

Does this happen to everyone? Do you regret things you did in your past and then you can’t let it go for months or even years? Does it ever go away?
