i often dream and overthink my past mistakes, some are even so stupid to the point i feel cringe. i know that its already done and nothing else i can do about it but i just cannot move on from it.

i even diagnosed with anxiety disorder, and i need medication just to sleep.

i am convinced that if i know to move on, my anxiety disorder should be cured by itself, but i still lost the fight. any suggestion how you guys deal with it?

Accept the mistake instead of judging it. Take piece of paper and write down the mistake you made and what you feel about it and what next are you going to do to either improve or avoid that situation. Use the pen and paper to bring the thought out of the mind onto the paper. You might be tempted to use screen/typing but trust me use the pen/paper. Once you do that just destroy the paper.
