Enemy behind the Lines- Regret

How would you define regret? It can be a somewhat ambiguous word. Of the various definitions researched, I believe the best found defined regret as a feeling of sorrow or remorse for a fault, act, loss, disappointment, etc.
Are there memories, decisions, or events that once they enter your mind, the immediate effect is regret? Personally, I equate regret with a deep sense of darkness that overtakes my soul. Physically, there are times where I feel everything from a headache forming in the base of my head to a burning in my chest. It amazes me how one emotion can cause such serious physical manifestations.
There are decisions in life I regret, perhaps minor decisions that could have had a tremendous effect on my life and the lives of those around me. There are events or situations I handled that leave me with a tremendous sense of regret. The most dangerous of regrets is that over our sin. This is the enemy that not only sneaks behind the line of defense most Christian Men put up, but it tends to camp out and slowly corrupt the rest of the troops if left undetected. What is the difference between conviction and regret?
