How can I let go of my past and forgive myself?

Update:

Many years ago I did things that I'm ashamed of, things that if my family knew it would rip them apart. I can't stop thinking about it and I live in terror that I will be found out one day. I trying to forgive myself, tell myself I'm not the same person, but I live with a constant knot in my stomach. I see a psychiatrist and we're working on medication but it's not helping yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Accept that you cannot change what happened, only how you view it and just forgive yourself for whatever happened and just think that whatever you have dont didnt happen and if you cant forget it...well whatever's happened has happened just accept that and be happy :)
