You were a child. Forgiven.

I’d like to add: I love dogs, I have many and have never and will never do anything like this with them. I am aware of how terrible something like this is and that’s why the thoughts of what I did as a child eat me alive.

Many many people have done things they deeply regret in their childhood. It’s much more common than you’d think. I don’t want to give you reassurance that could feed your ocd but it’s something you should know.

I know and before dealing with ocd I would occasionally think of the things I did and they would bother me but I wouldn’t obsess over them. I would just think to myself that I was a child, I didn’t know that was considered a bad or sexual act, and I would never even think about doing it as an adult. Now struggling with ocd, my mind is attacking to ANYTHING to make me feel guilt or panic. Whether it’s this real event that happened or an unwanted intrusive harm thought about a loved one.
