Can anyone help with that guilt and regret from something you done years ago. Yes it was awful. No I never done it again and never would. But it haunts me every single day and this is 12/15 years later

Yes! i so agree with your comment Rose! I also struggle with real event OCDbut i practice mindfulness & meditation by laying down or sitting in a comfortable position, closing your eyes & taking deep inhales & as you exhale imagine you releasing whatever thought that was in your mind currently. In your next exhale, do the same thing. After a few minutes, you will feel yourself in the become present moment. It takes practice, but it helps to ground yourself. I personally like to listen to relaxing music because it helps me get to that state faster. I hope that helps
I just really struggle because I can remember this incident very clearly and I can’t actually comprehend what I was thinking
@Anonymous yesss i so feel u! I think i spent a lot of time trying to pick apart the reasoning behind why i did that mistake which put a lot of shame & guilt behind it. I hope that you’re doing okay & hope ERP is working out for you!
Never even entered my head before until I tested positive for covid and had long oeriods of time alone
Can someone talk with me? I know I posted a lot about this and I want to stop.I know only a therapist will tell me what to do..But please..can someone give me some advice? I am scared I did something horrible.I didnt help a kid 3 years ago.I feel like I left them in danger.I am so sorry.The worst is I didnt helped in all these years.I want to tell the kid I am sorry but I dont want to make them remember.I got terrible thoughts and I still have them and I feel like I betrayed them and still betray them.Bcs I didnt help and bcs of the thoughts.I dont know but I think about what happened.and how terrible it was..especially because they told me and I didnt help.I dont know why I think that but I feel like a monster.I met with them today and with their parents (which I feel like I betrayed them too) and I talked with them.but i was very anxious and I am scared their parents judge me .I want to help now..but idk how.Is it too late? I am scared I want to help just because I feel guilty.I want to live in the present and do something now but my mind makes me think of the past..Any advice? Thank you
I’ve posted something vulnerable here before and I’m trying to ride out the wave of reassurance where it’s getting at me and I’m scared of sitting still with nobody to talk to about this at the moment I genuinely think it would be easier if I wasn’t around. I view my friends as pure compared to me and I’m the most impurest. I feel like this would do a favour to stop being here I don’t know what to do, I really don’t know. I’m literally alone in this and I’m getting tired. How do you deal with stupid choices that you made as a child? I’m trying to be understanding of past mistakes but it’s gut wrenching to try and accept to say and admit you did it knowing you’ll spend the rest of your life with that guilt..is there another perspective to this..???
I did post about this the other day, but I’m just genuinely worried like this happened many years ago and I can’t really remember exactly what I said, but I have a feeling like I said something really mean and I think I lashed out on a person like a stranger cause I don’t know I was probably going through something and I’m afraid that like it was so bad it caused them to hurt themselves and now I keep thinking like what if the police are secretly looking for me because the harm caused, even though I have no evidence of any of this, but even this Happened like a deca ago, it still haunts me like I really hope that the person is OK and I constantly like keep reviewing like their conversation over and over again like in my mind like I genuinely feel like a bad person maybe even a criminal 😃
