Repost bc I'm really struggling and I definitely should be.
Thread Username Chlo3264 Date posted 7d ago Trigger warning I can't live with who I am. A week or so ago I came across this post on Tiktok about something awful happening. I knew it was going on and stuff and I'd been scrolling through it a little I suppose. On this one, I don't remember much of what it was about, I just remember it being awful, and I remember getting a "groinal response". I'm putting that in quotes because, while I know I've probably had them before, this didn't really feel like it was because of this. It felt like there was a reason behind it. Cue me trying to work out why it happened, because I felt sick with myself. I came to the conclusion that it was because it was.. Different? "Angsty"? I don't want to use "exciting" bc it really wasn't but I don't know how else to describe it. But whatever it was I don't think it was a groinal response. I'm back at college and I started thinking about how, bc the Tiktok and my whole worry about what happened is around a certain group of people, I started thinking about how people in that group could end up sitting where I've sat, because I'm contaminated now, and I just felt such dread because.. That's just awful.. The fact that I could have "liked" something as awful as that has been weighing on me constantly, and adding to that the idea that I could contaminate the very people it could affect the most.. I don't know how to deal with this. I know I have to go to college, I have to sit, but I should have prevented it from happening in the first place. I just want to scream to the world about how sorry I am. Because what happened was truly really bad. I can't move on. I want to scream and shout sorry until my voice is hoarse. I know it was awful because if I confessed it on the Internet, people would rightfully detest me and wish awful things on me. I don't think this was any ocd and I don't know what to do. It's done now, I can't change it, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
