"Then I realized he'd turn me into loser just like him if I don't/didn't act right away."
In the sentence above I'm talking about the past- 'I realized he'd turn', but after that I said 'if I DON'T act' which is obviously referring to the future.
Should I have said 'if I didn't'?
Can both be used depending on whether I'm describing the past from the present or describing what I felt like in the past?
