That kind of feeling is called regret. Regret is an unhappy feeling about what have you done or decided in the past. It is like saying sorry to yourself or someone else. When expressing regret, people commonly put a good intention or attitude to do better and to not make the same mistake anymore. For example, they will say:
o I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.
o I regret on what I did.
o I regret on what I did.
There are so many phrases you can use to express regret. However, you should pay attention to the situations. The way we express our regret shows determination in our apologizing. We can just say “Sorry!” when we bump into someone in the street. In the other hand, it is not appropriate to say “Sorry!” when you have done something very wrong. Remember that the more serious our regret, the more formal we express it.
