Who told you you don't deserve to live? That's a lie. If people who have committed murder have repented and have used their experience to help others not to go down the same road then whatever you did you can forgive yourself and use it to help others not do the same. We have all made mistakes. We are all imperfect. Guilt makes you feel like you deserve to be punished and shame tells you that you are bad and horrible as a person. Both things are lies. A mistake doesn't define you. Use your experiences, good and bad, and grow from them. Use your life to help yourself and lift at least one person. Doesn't matter who.

I truly wish I could take what you wrote to heart, but I feel so shameful for what I did. No I did not take another’s life but did look at things online I should’nt have when I was a teen. It makes me worried as to what type of person I am

@Anonymous The fact that you know that you shouldn't have tells me you are truly sorry for it. You cannot change the past but you can forgive yourself. You are the only one that can do that for yourself. Now I'm going to tell you something that is not popular in today's culture and is not religion but God already forgave you for everything you did (even what you watched). Now I'm not going to argue with you or try to convince you. It's your personal choice and decision what to believe. But I can testify that knowing that God forgave me has given me a sense of freedom and peace. What I wrote you can take it to heart even if you don't feel it. You are not bad or a horrible person or whatever thought is entering your mind. If you were you would be glad and the fact that you are here being vulnerable and in distress is the irrefutable proof that you are not. Now logic is not going to beat the OCD. You need to be compassionate with yourself. Treat yourself with radical kindness and support yourself. With compassion tell yourself that you are not your thoughts. That you forgive yourself. That you are a good person that wants to do good. Again. Only you can. It's your privilege to be kind to yourself.

Everyday is a constant cycle of regret and misery
Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.

Please help
It’s never been this bad before. I feel like I’ll never get better. Every day I remember new things to feel guilty about and new fears pop into my head. What if I get doxxed? What if I said something online that could get me in trouble? What if I was hacked? What if someone is looking through every post, every message, every account I’ve ever made. I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole and there is no way out. I’m 21, I keep thinking “no one will have grace for you because of your age. You are an adult. You should have know better. You don’t deserve to get better”

What if I’m a criminal?
I know I shouldn’t and I’m trying not to ask for reassurance but how do I deal with this when I made real event mistakes in childhood? I’ve opened up to my cousin about this who’s an adult and believes that kids can be influenced at a young age and mimic things that they see and friends and my therapist. They all see the good in me and my stupid childhood mistakes but the guilt is very strong and even though I’ve opened up It’s telling me to open up more and more and I don’t know what else it wants from me.
