What do you truly regret doing?

Stupid 18 year old me spend about 13k € of my savings in a casino, I would needed that money now, I‘m building with my future wife a house and that money would be a nice conservatory, altough they are about 22-24€, the rest money we would have left.
I know the feeling lol.. Gambling sucks. Hope you get everything fixed without it brother!
 
Becoming friends with my neighbour 2 years ago, 1 year of getting destroyed mentally, beat up, and litreally stole like alot of money from me. shit was fucked up but i dropped that mf and now im doing much better
Better off now brother. Some people are pure toxic and should be blocked out of your life instantly. Good that ur better now
 
I also had a pretty negative experience with ADHD medicine as it sort of made me into a robot during my High School and early college years. I will say I don’t really regret it though. I do regret dumping my entire heart into someone who was incapable of reciprocating the love that I gave them, this damaged me quite a bit as a young man and caused me to spiral into a depressed state for some time after. Thankfully those times have passed and now I’m on my sigma grindset.
 
this one time i put hundreds of pounds into those old csgo case sites, total waste of my 13th birthday money :(

Thinking back I seemingly cannot think of something I regret. I'm glad I took the chances I was given and I'm advancing my career path steadily after my succesful state exam to become a nurse.

There would be one regret possibly but it is rather dumb of me, I regret not being more careful. Back in July I had an injury with my left eye as I wanted to pull up compression socks. I wasnt aware of my surroundings and didn't hesitate in bowing down, ramming my left eye against a wooden pillar (pointy) that was sticking out of a chair. My retina was luckily only scratched and it was horrible, I somehow limped my way back home then to the hospital with a slight trauma all while driving a car on the autobahn (I took a rest before driving).

Ouch indeed. It somewhat healed but fast forward to end of september and my retina has somehow opened up again for unknown reason. I always suffered from an irritated eye after the accident which would happen randomly every 2 weeks, got it investigated and I got to know how much in serious trouble I would've been if my eye got an inflammation if I didn't come in earlier.

Take eye drops/gel every 2-3 Hours which stop the irritation and also has some substance inside that heals my retina. Its a slow process but its working.
 
Getting a job that’s night work it’s a bloody killer

If your mindset is not ready for it, it's not gonna go well. As someone who works both days, evenings and nights, and thus have to switch between them constantly, it's not that big of a deal to me, as I was prepared to work those hours.


Something I regret is probably not starting my current study way sooner. I've had several years where I've done nothing with my life, and had I just started on what I'm doing now, I could be done in half a year and earn a great income. On the downside, if I had, chances are I would not have met my girlfriend and lived with her today, so regrets? I don't know.

Oof that of your eye sounds rlly harsh. Hope it will eventually fully recover. You limping home and driving with it sounds like some Rambo scene haha

Jesus, that sounds painful as hell. You've just made me thankful for needing glasses, as I have no doubt they've saved my ass from something like that hundreds of times.
 
Hi peeps,

Time for another thread from me. As the title stated:

What do you truly regret doing?

This can be anything. Something small, something innocent or even something that caused a real butterfly effect. Do note that this can be quite personal, so don’t feel like you have to share anything. And please, if someone shares a serious and potentially hurtful thing. Don’t troll and goof on them. If you want to goof. Goof on me, no hard feelings.

As always I’ll start:

I truly regret taking medication for my ADHD. I’ve been medicated for some years now and it changed my life for the better and the worst. Somehow I’ve lost 95% of my emotion and now have a hard time comprehending serious consequences. I generally don’t care bout much anymore.

PS. Dont take my story as a sad sob story. Cuz I’m personally fine. But it has a negative effect on my relationships.

Share your regret stories below!
i have adhd and Asperger syndrome and i was talking with my parents about medication,so i wanted to ask if u think it helped u more then being worse

Depends on your goals. The medication was intended for helping me with my concentration. Purely to be able to do my schoolwork, since school has been a drama. It does help me with my concentration, night and day difference. But prolonged use caused my emotional side to fade away. I don’t like actively think anymore (sounds weird). But when I lay in bed my mind is like noisecancellation headphones. Complete silence. Where before it was a rollercoaster of bullshit. I remember making a test before my diagnosis and whilst reading a sentence, I would play actual visual clips of games (from memory) in my mind, at the same time repeating like voice lines from movies and having litteral full songs play in my mind. Ofcourse resulting in me not even comprehending what I was reading. So I basically wasnt even able to read 2 sentences. After medication this was completely gone. I could actually read a whole paragraph and understand what I read.
People will find it really hard to understand how it is like for us, without medication that is. They think it’s sounds nefarious and you should just try to focus. But it’s impossible. Best way I can describe it to someone is taking the drug from the Limitless movie. Suddenly you can ‘focus’ and actually read something and understand. Day n nite difference. If you want to try something. Start with a low dose of ritalin. Preferably first try it within the setting needed. I know that many peeps start out taking it regularly during the day. But this imo is not the correct way, opinions differ on this one tho.
Do note that the negative effects that I experienced could not take affect for you at all.

Talk with your parents and possibly a doctor and see what fits you. My negative effects stem forward mainly from the lack of emotions and unable to take responsibility and see consequences. Resulting in many bad choices in life.

Just wrote this from the top of my mind. PM me if you want after convo with parents and I’ll try to give my thoughts again with examples and the medication I’ve used.

@Sorle has alot of experience too, and is very knowledgeable of these topics. Idk if he’s willing to give his thoughts but I @ him anyways. (So sorry Sorle if you dont want to get involved)
