I get what you’re saying. Most people with ocd feel they don’t deserve anything good in life because they are a monster. But OCD is the monster not you. The reason you feel you deserve bad things is because you feel like a bad person. The ocd attaches to this and convinces you of it. You should practice erp with the thought that maybe you deserve bad things and sit with the uncertainty. It’s uncomfortable but it’s helps to break the ocd cycle

Yep. :( it’s been getting in the way of wanting to recover from OCD as I feel like I deserve it bc I’m an inherently evil person. I try to remind myself that everyone has inherent worth and deserves a happy, good life, including myself, and that happiness is an unlimited resource, so there is no point in trying to starve myself of it, so others can „have it“. But like most OCD, it’s just practicing ERP, that will help it in the short term. Just not doing the self sabotage when you feel happy etc. BTW, I like your username! (Mushrooms are an interest of mine)

Was I a bad person
Was I a bad person before this life and is God punishing me. Sometimes I think I have a reverse punishment. Like God knew I'd be a horrible adult so that's why I was abused as a kid. I wasn't horribly abused but I didn't really realize I was until my psychiatrist told me I was. I hate myself

Realizations
Ive also realized... if it's my own fault I have POCD and Real Events OCD to begin with... because of the genuinely horrible real events I've done... then why should I even feel any ounce of sympathy for myself? I don't feel sorry for myself because why would I feel sorry for something I hate? It's my fault right? I did this to myself so I face the consequences... thats how the world works right? I did so many bad things as a teen, so the karma finally catches up to me... right? So yeah... I deserve this... all of this... it's so funny... thinking I deserve a happy life... its all just one big joke... my life is a joke... but jokes at least have a purpose and make people laugh. People do laugh. At me, and not with me. So yeah. I deserve this. All of this. I accept it. I accept it all. Come take me god. Cause I dont want to be here in this world anymore.
