When I was younger, I said something to my mom out of anger that I definitely shouldn't have (I'm not going to repeat it here but let's just say that it was quite disrespectful). Although that happened years ago, I STILL can't forgive myself for it. It's been killing me ever since and I feel almost as if I'll never be able to get over that one memory. I love my parents very much and have always been exceptionally respectful to them but then this one time nearly 10 years ago I slipped up and said something that's WAY out of character for me, something you would expect Stewie Griffin to say to Lois and that memory still bothers me something awful to this day. Damn, sometimes I wish were Marty McFly so I could go back in time and fix that incident. I hope that maybe one day I'll finally get over it. There aren't many experiences from my past that get me depressed as much as this one. The only other one that could possibly even come close is this one time when me and my friends were goofing off and basically doing Jackass stuff. We found this slug in our Mom's garden and I stepped on it (keep in mind that I was at least 5-year-old at the time). I almost instantly regretted what I had just done. Although I was able to keep it together with my friends to save myself from looking like some sort of pussy, I was literally bawling that evening. My mom kept telling me that it's just a slug but I didn't care what it was, I took the life of a living creature! That was enough to traumatize me and make me feel like a monster. That one bothered me for literally YEARS, it wasn't until at least 5 or so years ago that I was finally able to get over that one. Slugs certainly aren't my favorite kind of animals or anything like that, they honestly kind of grossed me out. But that wasn't that point whatsoever, the thought that I killed a harmless innocent little creature was enough to depress me. While I don't have problems with it anymore, I do sometimes get a little upset when I see something on TV or movies that reminds me of the situation. For example, I start feeling a little uneasy whenever I watch the Robot Chicken bit where space slugs are fighting each other which I assume is because of the experience.
