Lost money from pocket and having anxiety and depression for 2 days

[Dreamer468]

I was borrowing some money for buying petrol for my bike and lost money at the pump and got worried. Eventhough I managed the situation, I've still lost 500 indian rupees. I'm feeling heavy on my chest. It has become a burden in my chest. Can't tell anyone because I'm very embarrassed about it.

sometimes people turn in money that they found. actually more often then we expect. Did you try to go back? Otherwise you might just have to understand that it isn't the end of the world. I is annoying for a while. Maybe it stops you from buying something but that is really only temporary.

It's damn hard. I'm embarrassed infront of my friends and others. Parents are disappointed in me

welcome to adulthood expect more embarrassing incidents. They do not define you and owning your mistakes shows good ethics. most people do not learn this for years. Believe me nobody will remember unless you make it into a bigger deal than it is.

Hmm. I hope things will turn around.

Hi, I lost my keys on the highway once and every time I drove on that rode for a year I would look at the road hoping to see them. I struggled to accept the loss, and I carried that feeling of insecurity with me for a long time. And in my lifetime for all of my mistakes I have blamed myself and felt shame over creating a problem when if I just hadn’t made the mistake everything would have been…. Actually… really… In the grand scheme of things… in the bigger picture… the sky wasn’t falling! Anyone who would chastise you as if you were a bad person should be as lucky as you are to have the willingness to be self reflective. I believe it would be good for you to confront this situation boldly and forgive yourself for the error. You don’t want to make a habit of harboring stress in your chest about mistakes as we all make many mistakes in our lives. And next time, tuck the money way down in your front pocket! Be well!!

Thanks for tye reply. But I can't get it out of my head. I'm automatically thinking about it.

Then think about it, and while your at it, think about why you’re thinking about it. The sooner you confront this topic, the better your life will be. Try to find the core of the reason you are punishing yourself for this. Your parents disapproval may be a good start. I’m not a doctor so I might be way off, but it can’t hurt to look into your soul for forgiveness. It all begins there… so I’ve been told…
