It's funny, some days you look back on your life, and you're proud of some of your accomplishments and the things you've done, and other days you look back and all you can see are the disappointing things, the sordid and ugly things. And when things are going well, and you're living a real life, you don't look back at all.

Thank you.
I sometimes have small instances pop to mind but overall I don’t tend to dwell one way or the other.

Good for you. It happens to me more the older I get.

It is interesting, it has happened less to me as I have gotten older. I’d say I worried about the past more until I hit about 40 ish then not as much...about the same time I started caring less about what others think about things I do.
It sometimes happens to me when i am trying to fall asleep. All that runs through my head are memories of stupid shit I've done, or some embarasing thing or other. Very frustrating.

I know what you mean. I think most people do that every now and then.
@tnorman1236 It's the mind's way to "cleaning house" a reset,knowledge not needed,there's an actress,Marylou Henner,(she was in the TV series "Taxi" ),who can tell you exactly what she was doing on a certain time and date almost from when she was a small child.
Sometimes - when I'm going thru one of those "negative loop feedbacks" I stop and say "OK so if you had done this or that differently - what would the outcome have likely been?" In a lot of those situations you come to realize that you might have actually made the least bad decision?? I've come to realize that in many cases, a different action on my part might have produced a very different outcome - but not necessarily a better one.
