Do you have regrets?
| Mon, 05-16-2005 - 12:44pm |
I try not to. I think that if you regret the past...then you can't accept who you are now. Regret is not worth the energy of hashing over. If it weren't for the mistakes we have made, we wouldn't be "us"now. And I think that I am who I am for reasons I will never understand, but shouldn't question.
Do you all have regrets?

There are VERY few things in this life that I truly regret. Like Shyla said, the mistakes we make, the 'wrong' turns, the bumps in the road, those are what make us who we are. The Dalai Lama says 'Regret is a waste of energy.' So true.
I lived through years of deep depression and despair when I made some self-destructive choices.

Well, I went to answer this one so many times and stopped because I have a few regrets but didn't want to list them because I really should be looking at them as learning experiences and
Cara, honey, you said it yourself!

Barbara, once again, thank you for helping me to see things in the right light.
(((Hugs))) Cara!! My oldest (now 9) also has ADHD. He scored high in all 3 components. (Distractability, hyperactivity and impulsivity for those of you who aren't familiar with the condition.) It's been very difficult for me as well, watching his difficulty in making and keeping friends. Just heartbreaking.
It does get better though. My DH wasn't diagnosed until a few years ago. He just turned 40 last month. He feels so much better since being diagnosed and starting medication. And DS has gone, in 2 years, from being in danger of failing to being at the top of his class since starting medication. I'm not saying medication is the answer for everyone. But it's certainly been the right thing for us.
