Thank you for your question.

It is very impressive that you wish to repent and correct your mistakes. We respect this very much.

Hagaon Harav Fried shelittah says the way for you to do repentance is that you should  commit to reading works of ethics such as the “Messilat Yesharim,”  which is available in English, and also increase you torah study.

Allow me to share with you what generally Teshuvah (Repentance) is about.

In Judaism, there is no such thing as G-d being angry forever. G-d does not want to punish you at all. G-d wants just wants a relationship with you…and it appears you are making these efforts!

We believe that all mankind who has sinned can be cleansed of their sin with prayer and “Teshuva”, meaning, repentance.

We see this, in fact, in the very first chapters of the Torah, where it says that G-d said to Cain: "Why are you upset, and why has your countenance fallen? If you do good [i.e. repent and change your ways], it will be good for you [that is, you will be forgiven]. But if you don’t do good, sin rests at the door..but you can overcome it!" (Genesis 4:6-7).

You should also be sure to pray for your sin on Yom Kippur.

Best of luck!
