These are my personal opinions.

Always seek a professional when you're making choices about your mental health and well-being.

All right, I'm going to say this as nicely as possible.

I will do my best, but it's going to sound harsh.

What I'm going to tell you is meant to be encouraging.

It's meant to lift you up, not bring you down.

And that is, if you are currently blaming yourself for stupid decisions. Stop blaming yourself for stupid decisions.

Don't blame yourself for the decisions that you made. When you've made decisions that haven't worked

out, they didn't work out. When you've made decisions in the past and you're thinking,

damn it, I should have done this.

I should have said that.

I should have made a different decision.

And now look what I ended up with.

If you blame yourself, you can let that go.

I'm giving you permission to let go of the fact that, yes, you made

stupid decisions. So stop blaming yourself for having made a stupid decision or stupid decisions.

Decisions aren't stupid. They're just not informed enough.

You don't have enough knowledge to make the right decision or the best decision.

You don't because if you did, you would have made a different decision.

So I've said this very same thing in different ways on different episodes, but it basically

comes down to if you had known better, you would have made a different decision. And if you

blame yourself for not knowing better, stop it. Stop blaming yourself for not knowing better
