Sometimes, usually when I am anxious or sad to start with, I lie awake in bed worrying about things I have done in the past. I haven't done anything really terrible or anything(like murder someone or something) it's just stupid things I did as a child or embarrassing situations I've been in. For example, once I made a girl cry in middle school, once I stabbed my brother in the leg with a pencil when I was 7, etc. etc. I used to think I was going to go to hell for these things. Also I worry if I have offended someone unintentionally during the day. I know I worry too much... but is anyone like me in the sense that they worry about things they can't possibly change?

    It's normal, I've done it myself countless times, but you should not do it. Keep yourself busy with other activities. Pondering on the past only brings out more negative emotions. You can't change anything that has already been done, so accept it and put it aside.
