Chabad Lubavitch of Rockland: "First, one needs to recognize that atzvut is not the correct path to take. We need to train ourselves to recognize the difference between good regret and the kind that shleps one into further depression.
Two, one needs to recognize that if one is struck by depressing thoughts in middle of the day for something he or she did wrong, those thoughts come from the evil inclination. That inclination wants the person to feel depressed, because that causes the person to do more sins.
So, how does one repent? Rabbi Schneur Zalman explains that a person needs to delegate a time to feel bad for his or her sins. This is usually the time before one goes to sleep. Think about what you did that day, and how tomorrow will be a new day, with the opportunity to be a better human being.
