Feel like I’ve made too many mistakes

As the title says I’m obsessive over my mistakes, and past actions to the point of exhaustion but also first of all- no one probably remembers or even knows to begin with these mistakes and yet I’m still punishing myself so hard I can’t even muster up happiness, I just binge eat and ruminate. But here I am cancelling my entire existence, feeling like my life is over that one too many mistakes makes my life unworthy. I wanna go back into society but I get this dread that my past will come back up and people will see it and hate me- hate me so much they kick me out of everything forever.

Getting therapy helped me massively with this. I know its tough but I didn't see a way out on my own. My therapist helped me see myself out of that hole/ prison I keoy myself in.

Hey I’m here too, I have real event ocd and scrupulous ocd and it can make life really hard. I know reassurance is not helpful, however I’m being genuine when I say this; making mistakes is inevitable and every single person makes them

I made a huge mistake in the past. Going into it I didn't know at the time how bad the mistake was until a long time later. I so badly wish I could go back and fix it and change it. I hate myself and I feel like I deserve to die. I talked to my parents about it and they told me that I need to just let it go and stop beating myself up and that I've punished myself enough but I can't seem to shake it off and move on. I'm a Christian so I do believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins but why do I feel so bad. I feel so guilty. I would NEVER make the same mistake again knowing what I know now. Do I deserve a second chance? Is it possible that OCD can make it worse than it actually is? I need help 😭

Having a very hard time

I’m obsessing over every past bad decision or every stupid thing I did as a kid or teenager. I have this terrifying fear that mistakes are going to come back and haunt me and ruin my life. Anyone have any encouraging words?

Wanna take back all my mistakes

Sure I wasn’t perfect as a teen but I was better, I was a good person before all my mistakes. Now I constantly am tortured 24/7 seven days a week with obsessive thought over obsessive thought about my past about what I said and did. I’m disgusted nauseated and even typing this I’m realizing my brow is scrunched and I’m scowling at my phone. I wanna restart. Reset things before I was tainted, stained, unredeemable and unfixable.
