Salaams,
Repent from the heart, do not repeat it and move on. If you walk forwards looking backwards you will only keep bumping in to things and hurting yourself.
Fi amanAllah

And your Lord hath said: Pray unto Me and I will hear your prayer.
(Al-Ghafir)
Say: "O 'Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
(Az-Zumar)
So, sister never give up on the mercy of Allah SWT he will forgive you, inshaAllah.On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him), from among the things he reports from his Lord (mighty and sublime be He), is that he said:
A servant [of Allah's] committed a sin and said: O Allah, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins. Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you.

jazakallah for this insightful message. I'm glad u wrote it as it helped me a lot. Just one thing I'd like to say too. The Prophet SAW said that if the people of this world stopped sinning then Allah SWT will replace them with another nation who would sin and then ask Allah for forgiveness. If you ask forgiveness sincerely from Allah then He always forgives. In fact Allah says that you should be convinced that you have been forgiven. Don't say that forgive me if you so will. Rather say please forgive me my Lord and be certain that He, the merciful has forgiven you.:salam2:
This whole forgivness thing is a difficult thing. Although you have to ask for forgivness, I have always found it more difficult to forgive myself for what I have done. I think when you manage to forgive yourself, that is when you will be able to move on and get on with life. I also find it the key for feeling that Allah has forgiven me, whether he has or not i another question, but if I ask, why shoud he not forgive me??????
Don't dwell on it, It has happened. Move on, although it is difficult. Dont let the past eat you up, been there and its not good.
As muslims we should try not to sin, but allah did not make us perfect and knew we were going to sin anyway, so we cannot be perfect. Although you must remember that you are trying to get to jannah and ideally the fewer sins we commit, the easier it may be, this may not be the case. Allah tests us in all sorts of ways. Just think of the reward you are getting for trying to struggle against what has happened. Think of the reward you will gain for repenting to allah in tht extra ibadah!!
I know some people work by thinking oh look how much I have done bad...... etcetcetc.
But there is a flip side, as I say to all my students in their exms, your here to gain point not loose them. If you are feeling really down, think about all the good deeds you have done today. It may be a little thing o you but the reward may be greater than you ever imagined.
I find trying to be positive helps me get though. I guaranetee the good things you have done today, yesterday are many, we make mistakes, look on the brighter side, getout and stop feeling bad about yourself.
