Isn’t it crazy how people without ocd have the same thoughts, they just don’t get anxious or do compulsions? It’s hard. I recently noticed that was feeling the same way. I didn’t think I was deserving of anything, but I realized that victimizing myself wasn’t really helping my case either it just kinda sunk me in further. Re-training your brain isn’t easy. I suggest to really try to get out of the victim mindset, this journey is yours and learning to have a good relationship with yourself is important. You deserve love no matter how you feel.

This is exactly what we all face in this battle. We're secretly perfectionists, so any uncomfortable thought is completely unacceptable and we deserve the cruelest punishment for the smallest thought. I've actually told people close to me that I'm the worst person to ever walk in earth because of my thoughts. Again...it's only a thought. We fear that the thought makes us what we are, that's not true, it's our values, our direction that's makes us who we are. And, we're imperfect and will make plenty of mistakes in our lives, so we need to go easy on ourselves, manage thoughts, self care. :-)

Also if you listen to music, I really like little simz. When I’m feeling really tired or blue I listen to broken by little simz, it’s a amazing song. :( <3

OCD makes me feel like i am the scum of the earth and i believe it is true. i’ve done horrible things in the past when i was younger that i am not proud of. i know people say that we have to forgive ourselves for our past mistakes/know that our mistakes don’t define us or what not, but i feel like what i’ve done is irredeemable. although i was young back then, it dosent make it an excuse bc i am old enough to know it was wrong. why would i do that?? i’ve tried to forgive myself, but i keep going back in a loop bc of my OCD. what if i am using my OCD as an excuse? i don’t know what to do, please help.

It's so hard to improve my self esteem. My thoughts are always focused on the things I don't do right. The things that makes me ashamed of myself my addictions. The things I don't do right. Not believing I should be in a relationship, etc. This is really hard. I often just keep myself in this circle of being hard on myself or just not giving myself the same grace as other people because of bad actions in the past.

A good life, success, healing, beautiful things? ⚠️ Important: please don’t read if this is triggering. No one should think this way about themselves, of course you deserve it all. I struggle with real events and harm OCD. My worst fear is being a bad person, causing harm or doing the wrong thing. These thoughts haunt me all the time and cause me to essentially throw my life away. I don’t go out, pursue opportunities, etc. because what if I don’t deserve them? I think of the worst things I’ve ever done all the time. The things that I’m most ashamed of. Like a broken record that’s all I replay in my head. Doesn’t matter if it was 5 or 10 years ago. And I beat myself up for not doing better. And I just don’t know how to move past it. I’ve read a lot of quotes and books about self help and love and acceptance (e.g. once you know better, do better). But for me I feel like I have to hate myself forever. I won’t ever get a clean slate, there’s a permanent stain on my record. I just can’t forgive myself, whether other people know it or not, I can’t allow myself to move forward. It’s about integrity for me. Does anyone relate? How do you do it? I’m so sorry if you’re also struggling. I don’t wish this for anyone. Please keep fighting, you’re not alone. ❤️
