Does/has anyone else felt guilt for something in the past that they can't really fix now? It's so bad it rules my thoughts and I obsess and constantly ask reassurance from everyone. I was diagnosed with OCD at 15 and this is a new OCD thing for me to deal with. I just feel alone because I am STRUGGLING so hard. Thanks <3
God I’m going through this bad right now. It’s so overwhelming. I’m so sorry. I PROMISE you’re not as bad as your brain is telling you you are. If you ever want to reach out please feel free.
Almost all my OCD stems from real events, it’s awful
same
Same here. But I’ve found that patience and time helps heal the guilt of the past. It helps to remember that 1. Your ocd is most likely making the past event seem and feel much worse than it actually was, and 2. you’re a different person now than you were then. You now know better and you deserve to move on. You’re only human. You’re allowed to make mistakes. In life it’s only natural for yourself to find new challenges and overcome them. This is just another hurdle. But it will get easier, I guarantee it! Hope you feel better soon!
Every single day I get guilty over this
YES !!! Ive been trying to talk to so many people about this type of OCD and no one seems to really get it or understand the pain of the regret and horrible suffering!! As a parent it is the WORST!
