My regret has become so overwhelming, and my remaining energy to "improve" so diminished, that I feel like I am some sort of skeletal figure a my stomach dragging a huge cloth bag full of rocks across a barren wasteland. I feel strongly on an instinctive level (I have always had great instincts) that I am simply beyond saving, that my perspective is too warped in favour of an early death.

Jesus man what the fuck is the matter with you? The fact that you are vague as hell about your 'regret that makes you beyond redeption' leads me to believe you're a kid. If you are, practice something and get better at it. Ex. learning the guitar, weight lifting, reading then writing.

If you're an adult get a job in the service industry, and take up a hobby like those mentioned above.

If you've done something horrible to others, just get involved volunteering. If you spend enough time at a local public service center you could get a job there even. Cut yourself off from instincts, and start following a methodical lifestyle through happy times and hard times. clearly your instincts are not helping you.

On her sort of religious take on it is also East of Eden, Frankenstein, and from the very tiny bit I read of it maybe Paradise Lost.

You should read Nietzsche. He teaches you to embrace self-contempt and suffering instead of ignoring it like the Stoics or hiding from it like Schopenhauer. Your ability to struggle and endure knowledge of your self will ultimately shape the course of your life.

You should also consider that what defines you as a man is not necessarily your failures, but rather your reaction to them. You can choose shame and regret, or you can choose resilience in the face of what is perhaps the most profound despair of all, despair in your self.
