I think you could use therapy to first learn to forgive yourself. We are all human, make decisions that upon reflection are less than in our best interests; and we can learn from these and go onwards.
One of the things that helped me Get Over It - I had a lot of anger and anxiety that I stored up like a squirrel stuffs nuts in his cheeks - and it was keeping me from being able to function. I compensated with booze (poor choice for me) and then heaped that guilt in with the rest of the feelings that were tearing me up. Woooo! Run on sentence and didn't even make my point: EMDR treatment. I swear it saved my sanity, and let me put all the garbage I'd been carrying around behind me, where it belongs. I don't have to cart around regrets, guilt, and anxieties that I have no ability to correct or make amends for.I can change my own behaviour - with a lot of work. I can't change my past, or recapture it, as I imagine in my manic moments I am able to. But I have been able to get over a lot of it.
best wishes, medhed.
