    One thing.

    Being a member of the rugby team and also being the best at art in all your schools and Uni (Lord of the Flies) and suffering depression did not mean there was something wrong with you.

    Have you ever seen OZ?

    Brains.

    Catholic schools.

    So that when all the cowards ganged up - all you has to do was wait - until they were on their - then you could **** them up on your own.

    Oh and my Grandad and Grandma- (war heroes) I wanted to say goodbye properly - but I never got the chance.

    Wishful thinking when drunk. :p

    Life is a series of choices, you might "regret" something you did or didn't do, but if you had chosen an alternative course there would have been no guarantee of a better future than the one you have now.

    This is dangerously close to life is like a box of chocolates.

    Regret not walking away from two long term relationships when I realised something was wrong.

    Regret being guilt ripped all my life into doing things, accepting things, putting up with things, I really shouldn't have had to.

    Regret the times I've been a c**t to people.

    Regret worrying so much about the opinions of those who'se opinion really doesn't matter.

    I always regret not taking advantage of the virtually free university education back in the 80s.Leaving home at 18 and.going to university in another part of the country like most of my mates did.Many never to return.

    But instead Is screwed up my A levels,did nothing to rectify it and ended up in a dead end job.

    But life moved on.The grass is always greener on the other side.

    I sorted out work eventually.And if I had moved away I would never have met my fantastic partner I have been living with for the past 27 happy years.

    When one door shuts another one opens etc

    So many if onlys... but if I really had chance to start again, I don't know if I'd do anything differently. Given the same genes and the same upbringing, I'd be the same person and no doubt make the same daft decisions all over again. We're stuck with who we are, and the best we can do is try and learn from our experiences.

    Only two: marrying my ex and not learning to ride a motorbike before I got an ear problem that's affected my balance.

    Granted that it's a depressing thread (my own contribution included). But then again, some people make very depressing hashes of their existence.

    I regret working to hard and not making time for myself. i have missed out on having a life for nearly 15 years while I work my self into the ground nearly every day. I feel I have missed out on getting married and children and if it never happens I know I will regret it.

    With the benefit of hindsight and what you have learned since. If you went back, though, you would be the same person you were then, so how could you act differently?

    What stops you from changing things and making more time for yourself?

    Well I suppose in this thread we do assume we have the magical benefit of hindsight before we made all of our mistakes.

    Sadly of course you only get one shot at life.

    Same as this, but I only managed five years before crashing into the ground.

    I regret marrying my ex husband because of all his cheating, but then if I hadn't I wouldn't have met my now boyfriend.
