The post on reddit is just people's opinion. If it's anyrhing ocd related and intrusive thoughts than you really had no control over it. I've done things I am not proud of either. But if your obsessively ruminating on only rhe negatives that is a form of self punishment, and you have to learn to let it go. We're human and we make mistakes. But we can learn from them and not do it again.

@Eileen03 I can complete agree and know how that feels, I can relate to gaving real events but the OCD is where we obsessively ruminate about it and can't forgive ourselves easily. I even have struggled with that too and still do sometimes but it's okay. We're not perfect human beings and we do make mistakes but allow yourself new mantras saying you are not what you did and you are worthy of forgiveness. Even if you are reminded of what you did by external sources the more work you do on forgiveness the less the rumination will be there. And the less personal you will take for the thing you did if you see it on reddit or TV etc.
