Question Posted Wednesday November 14 2007, 5:16 pm
A little more than a year ago I had the chance to do the IB Diploma program but I thought it would be too challenging for me so I only chose a few IB classes. I now MAJORLY regret this descison, so much so that I became depressed and get caught up in the "could" "would" "should" haves. I can't seem to be happy with my decsion. I feel like my self-esteem and self-worth have gone down as well. How do I overcome this and what should I do to get rid of these feeling of regret? How can I be happy again?

You shouldn't be letting it depress you. If you're smart enough to do it, your self esteem about that should be higher than a lot of people's. If there's one thing I've learned, regretting decisions is a waste of time. The best way not to regret decisions? Fix stuff. Make sure you do it right the next time, and take advantage of any opportunities you're given to catch up.
So once again; You can regret your decisions, but it won't do any good. It's the way life goes. To be happy again, you should find out what your opportunities are right Now, because they're all that matter. For someone smart enough to do the IB I'm sure there are a lot of opportunities left.
