Tarantulas.

I don't know about you, but some days I just can't stop thinking about my failures. I don't mean getting bad grades or dating the wrong person, though that is part of it. I mean I can't stop thinking about every stupid thing I've done. I have an incredibly good memory which is a lot of fun sometimes but makes times like this even more frustrating. I can't remember what I did at any point in time, I seriously think I have something broken in my brain because time is all scrambled in my head. It's all past and that's it. But I remember details. I remember what I said and I remember people's expressions when I said it. It's not crystal clear like a movie, There are pieces missing. But it's superimposed into everything I look at. I see clearly (actually not so much but that's because I don't wear my contacts) what I'm looking at in the real world but there's a simultaneous image in my brain of someone's face. Right now I have like a still of faces and sometimes it just loops itself, over and over. I'll just think "I am an idiot. I wish I could've not said that" and then something else comes to mind. Over and over. It brings up the reality that there's no way to fix all my shortcomings, past or present. If I fixed what I said at one point, there are still all the others. And even if by some miracle I could erase them all, there's always tomorrow. I'm going to say something stupid. This is going to happen for the rest of my life, it happens to everyone.

What do I do?
I've apologized/explained to people about some of these things before and they didn't care or remember. I guess you just have to let it go.
