Has anyone ever made a mistake... than promised themselves they'd never do it again... before making it again?

Because that's exactly what I did.

The first time I did it... I felt terrible and I promised myself I'd never do it again. Than this year I went and did the exact same thing.

After this I decided that this was ENOUGH! This was not how I wanted to live my life and decided to change. But I get such strong feelings of self loathing and depression whenever I try to do something to improve myself. I keep telling myself that if you had done this two years ago than you wouldn't be in this mess. And than I go into some sort of manic depression where I think it would be better for everyone if I was just dead...

So... does anyone have any ideas as to how to get over the past? I think it's holding me back a lot, and would gladly welcome any advice.

Thanks a lot!
