Does anyone feel so impaired
I feel like a child. I can’t make decisions, I truly can’t judge “right” from “wrong” because my definition of right is so strict and everyone else seems to be comfortable with shades of gray. How can I ever know? There seems to be a certain tolerance for “breaking rules” that the average person understands but I simply don’t follow. It’s all unacceptable to me. I struggle a lot with moral scrupulosity (not religious). It makes me feel like I don’t know how to operate in this world, like it’s not made for people like me. I feel lost like a child, and I’ll always be behind my peers because I just can’t function like they do. And I feel so guilty for my indecision; what if I should be taking some action, standing up for what’s right? I just freeze because I don’t ever know what to do. I don’t know where to go. I’m tired and embarrassed to not know these things. One time I even went to the police station to ask if I was guilty. It’s difficult to explain and ask.. I feel like a helpless child, but I’m supposed to be the adult. I’d rather overreact than under react.. but I just don’t know. Am I standing in the way of recovery? But what if I become so morally loose in the name of fighting OCD.. I’m so tired.
