Don't hurt yourself,it will not solve your problems.. everyone makes mistakes, big ones. It doesn't mean they are bad or good, we are way complicated then that.

You may feel like you still keep on doing things you regret in the past, and with that guilt you'll ended up being disturbed and it's trying to define you that it won't let you go. You might be still possible to repeat all those things all over, but remember, You are a person. Just because your behavior doesn't do right, it doesn't mean it's all over for you. Now, take a breath and think: If you are free from your situation, what will you do? And what is that kind of person you will be if you got that freedom? Remember your behavior doesn't define you. It is who you are in your heart. OCD or whatever your problem is, it's just a life's challenge. You are stronger than your mind tells you. It will only last in the present, but in the future you have a destiny where you won't be that "immature person" you see in yourself that you hate today. Therefore, Go and rise. Pray for the overcoming, seek help like from this community and just don't give up finding your strength. You are amazing because soon you will have a story to tell. Just don't give up.

It can be okay. There can be times when you won’t be thinking of all this. Don’t give up.

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.

I look back at various past events in my life where I said or did things that I feel really guilty, disgusted, and ashamed about. I replay them in my head for hours. I feel anxious about crossing paths with people that I've hurt or upset in the past or who perceive me badly, to the point that I will avoid going out in public as much as possible. I go out for work, errands, appointments, and occasionally to eat (even though those all give me a lot of anxiety), but I avoid community events where people might recognize me and I tend to isolate myself. The only people I see regularly are my boyfriend, my parents, and my coworkers. I live in a small community and I'm worried about people confronting me publicly and proving what a bad person I must be.

I think all of us have made mistakes, wether in childhood or teenage years and adulthood. I’ve made terrible mistakes when I was younger ( childhood ) and I’ve been regretting my actions and dealing with severe shame and guilt, I came out okay in the end and been the ideal kid I should’ve been when I was younger. I changed but hearing people like close family saying they would judge past mistakes and you’re allowed to judge, makes me feel horrible. because only if they knew…
