How do i let my past go after depression ruined my life?

I feel so bad for my children mainly my daughter seeing me in such a mess for a long time, Shouting at her etc when i was so low shes so sensitive now, When things get me down i shut everyone out and now im better and have been for ages i reflect and feel so bad, any advise?

Mother's guilt follows every mother on earth. We cannot escape it. Even when things are good, we berate ourselves for not doing enough for our children.

It sounds like you've had it very hard, and I am glad that you are doing better now! You cannot erase what you did when you were in so much pain, you can only do your best now.

Eventually, time will go by and by doing your best now and in the future you will have many years under your belt. Those years will add up and then you will have more good years than you had bad years.

Pat yourself on the back for doing well now, and be proud that you healed from the depression. Many people don't get over depression.

I wish you the best of luck!!!

Family counselling. You can communicate to each other in a safe environment and really make progress with building back up the relationship. They can teach you some mechanisms to deal with anger that might lead to you shouting etc. You can also learn how to deal with the shutting everyone out in case that starts to happen again.

If family counselling is out of the question then just...apologise to your daughter? If youre confident in the things you do and try and get back on track; your daughter will pick up on this and start to feel like things are getting back to normal.

Good luck and i hope everything turns out ok. :)

Just knowing how much that you've learned from everything that you've been though should help... You're much wiser and more in touch with your spiritual side I'd guess..
I heard a quote the other day that went something like "ignorance is not knowing better and doing the right thing.. Innocence is knowing everything and still doing the right thing."
You are rebuilding your life...Which is doing the right thing... And that takes a lot of bravery and thoughfulness on your part.. Your daughter will come around.. My mom suffered from horrible depression and I'm well adjusted and love her more than most kids love their parents.. :)
Just know how beautiful that your future will be now that you've gotten all of that crap out of the way! The future looks amazing!

Just move on. Forget your past and live for your future. Always thinking of your fast can also stress you and it's not good to people like that experienced depression. Instead of thinking your past, turn your mind to the things that can help like joining your friends or having a meditation. It's good if you try meditation because it can help our mind to relax.

You may need a better mood. A bagful of tricks are discussed here:

Thinking in the past but not much planning for the future is oe of the signs of depression.

I think you still need to work on yourself. When you're doing okay, you will be able to forgive yourself.

Apologize to the people that you hurt and move on. Holding on to the past will just make you and everyone around you feel worse.
