[quote=Anonymous]My biggest regrets are:

1)  Getting a freak illness in my teens that has caused a lot of residual problems to this day.  My main regret about this is that I knew I had a serious medical issue as a teen but ignored it for weeks, at which point it became a very serious infection.
2)  Not getting into medical school when I applied in my late 20's, that was the only career I ever really wanted and felt I was best suited for.  After doing a post-baccalaureate pre-med program (intense 1.5 years of taking all the pre-med pre-reqs), working full-time in a hospital, and taking the MCAT twice, I got in nowhere after applying to 25 schools.  This crushed my self-esteem to smitherenes and I have never recovered. 
3)  Not having much career direction (besides med school) in my 20's and being extremely underemployed.
4)  Not having a vibrant social life in my 20's or early 30's, I feel that I missed out on girlfriends trips, bachlorette parties, being invited to weddings, having a social circle, etc.  This was not for lack of trying, however.  I just had difficulty making new friends.
5)  Moving here from out of state, and not having any family and only 2 friends here, DH and I feel so lonely here.  
6)  That my extended family (cousins, aunts, uncles) have no interest in any relationship, and that DH's family is such a dysfunctional mess.  I feel like I have very little family to lean on for social support or to spend fun times with.
7)  Feeling that I never lived up to my potential professionally.  I work full-time in a new career that I like and am good at, but it doesn't challenge me and I am bored a lot.  I definitely feel like I never lived up to my potential.[/quote]
