Things i did as a kid
How do I forgive myself for things I did as a kid? Disgusting terrible illegal things? I’m grown and I would never do them now, but how do I move on?
I have the same problem. Just know you’re not alone. I have so so much guilt from it that sometimes I feel like I’m dying from the thought of it. I’m grown now too, and I would never ever do those things again. To realize too, I was a child learning and being impulsive. I’m still learning to cope with it. Sending you love❤️
You need to acknowledge that you genuinely wouldn't do this now. A bad person wouldn't feel remorse or regret or guilt etc. This feeling you have in general just proves that you have grown. No guilt is needed. And all kids do bad things they aren't proud of but you gotta remember it's not just you and you were just a kid. You know better now
I have found that my OCD really makes guilt more intense. I have a hard time with getting over guilt too. I think it can help to identify what is going on. The OCD is hijacking our healthy consciences and then laying a burden of impossible guilt on us. But human beings were never meant to live under a blanket of impossible guilt. You can take your life back from OCD. It starts with recognizing that this guilt is not for you. Then you can take steps to defeat it. Big hugs. You are in good company. Don’t feel guilty about the past. You can live in grace. 💙💙
I’m here with you too ☝🏼
Think of this life as a training ground for something better—let's call it heaven. If we were born in that perfect place without any training, we would still make mistakes. Those mistakes would ruin the utopia. So, don’t feel bad about your mistakes. This life is meant for learning, and it’s okay to stumble along the way. Each mistake is a chance to grow and improve. Remember, this world is not the final destination; it’s a place where we prepare for something even greater. Embrace the lessons you learn here! Have a great day
is someone threw the same thing as me ? i feel so bad about things i’ve done while i was a pre/early teen, as sexual experimentation. It was Gross things that i’ll never do it again, i’m disgusted by it now. But i have so much guilt on me, i feel like i don’t deserve happiness after that. I know i was young and discovering sexuality but it don’t gives me enough relief. Thank guys, tell me how you feel about this.
I have done awful things around 5/6 years ago and I don't think I can forgive myself
My real event went from the age range of 12-17 and since it feels so recent I am struggling to forgive myself and move on. I went into more detail in my other post if you’re curious. The guilt and shame I feel for things I did as a child is ruining my life at this point.
