I have been spending my whole life wishing I could have a do-over of the recent past, hence needing a do-over of the present once the present becomes the past. I obsess about the lost opportunities of the past, usually, 3-5 years but sometimes longer.
I feel totally unmotivated to change my life. I'd rather just daydream about how I would change my past if I could have a do-over.
To the OP and anyone else in this situation,
Everyone has a regret so you are not alone. Find one thing that you enjoy and do it everyday to drag yourself forward and build on it. I go to the beach or book store.
If I was a Bible thumper I'd say it's Satan telling you lies. He knows where your weaknesses are. The only thing he is able to affect is THOUGHTS. He's pretty much disabled you, hasn't he?
You'll have to force yourself to think about other things. Helping others is a great way to stop thinking about yourself.
It's sometimes just called hindsight. When an ill considered decision becomes an enormous Unsolveable lifelong problem, it's natural to focus on some regret.
As the Germans say: "Too soon old, too late smart."
Health is wasted on youth
wealth is wasted on the aged.

Today is tomorrows past.
Do it today.
If you can't, you are frozen by fear.
Fear says something about your failure to deal with your mortality.
obsession is how fear traps you from moving forward.
When the pain of where you are overcomes the fear of where you must go, then you'll do something.
Not until. You will not do anything until it hurts enough.
Procrastination is a form of defiance.
God always opens a door when He closes another, but it gets cold as a ***** out in the hallway,
thats where you are.
Rumination, highly intrusive perseverative thoughts, etc. are symptoms of a number of diagnoses.
