For most of the day I can avoid it, but at night the feeling/memories become somewhat overwhelming.

It's mostly just me remembering the times I had, and all the times I took for granted, and that I lost.. which is depressing.

New city. My friends and most of my family are 2400 miles away.

Can't go back although I would in a second if I was able.

With regards to dealing with regrets: Thoughts? Suggestions? Much appreciated.
