I feel terrible…
I think I have real event or moral scrupulosity OCD for sure because I keep remembering something I did at 19 two years ago - it was something I knew was kind of not okay and so I did it discreetly without others knowing, but I don’t think it registered how bad it was until more recently this year. I keep thinking about why I did it and maybe it’s not the same as people who would do it for completely selfish and bad reasons (I think it might have been a compulsive behavior at the time), but it still wasn’t okay! Then again, maybe I’m deflecting - maybe I was being selfish in a way. The people around me didn’t give the okay for that, so why did I do it!! They don’t know I did it because I hid it and I didn’t do anything directly to them, but that really doesn’t make it any better. I feel like such a POS and it’s probably because I am one. I also worry I did it a second time, but I can’t remember and it upsets me so much. With my other OCD issues, I haven’t done any of the things that I’ve obsessed about (though I worry I will, especially when thinking about how I did this), but I actually did do something here, and I shouldn’t have done it. But maybe it’s not OCD - maybe I just deserve to feel guilty for this. Maybe I’m right and I’m a terrible human being who should be forever haunted by what I did. I kind of just want to die now… I don’t feel even the least bit redeemable, like why did I do that… I think my life might be over and I don’t deserve to have friends or people who care about me because honestly, that was super wrong and I don’t know if there’s any coming back from that 😞 I keep thinking about how if something bad happens to me, I’ll deserve it. Or how maybe I should punish myself somehow. I don’t know what to do because I don’t think I can atone in any way and I can’t go on feeling like I don’t deserve to live.
