I use to do that when I was in high school or younger.
You just got to realize that you can't change the past so do what you can at the present for a better future.
Depending on what, just think that not many people will remember, usually only you.
For me I usually deal with embarrassing past as the past,
and if people laugh at me, I usually laugh along.
People make fun of others to put or shame others, but if you aren't phased then they give up!
When I think whether good or bad, my breathing often slow or sometimes seem like it stopped, I take a couple of deep breaths or walk a bit to get the blood flowing and loosen up.
It sounds like you are ruminating on problems, that is what started my Anxiety attacks around 6 months ago. See a doc and try to get CBT, it worked brilliantly for me, if not there are online resources too.
