Anyone else?
Does anyone feel like they deserve bad things to happen to them? And when they do happen, does anyone else feel sort of happy? Because you feel you deserve it?

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
Thank you. Do you have any advice on how to practice erp on your own?
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)
yeah.. it's terrible to deal with. I hope one day, you will feel much better. Thank you though, I like your username too:)
I have made multiple mistakes in my past that lead me to believe im a bad person. thinking about them often sends me into a panic attack. i cant help but feel i need to be punished. i hate this feeling, what should i do?
Does anybody else get the indescribable urge to cut yourself, you don’t want to but you feel like you have too.
17f I have a lot of events, but my main and my worst one which is absolutely fucking diabolical was done when I was 14 and repeated when I was 16. Everytime I post something about real event ocd here people are like you are probably didn't do anything that bad, and when they hear what I did they are like yeah that's bad. Someone even asked me if I'm autistic cause "it's crazy how you didn't realize that the thing ypu were doing was wrong at this age." And I kinda agree, like it's fucked up It's just that my event is bad. Doesn't mean I don't have real event ocd. You can have a reocd over the event that was bad, it doesn't mean the event wasn't that bad or you don't have recod. It's just people always expect it to be something innocent and it's not Even a healthy person would feel guilty over it, it's just that I had ocd my whole life and it's making the guilt absolutely destructive, like to the point when I sometimes have a hard time breathing when I think about it, I lost more than a year of life to it, almost checked myself out couple of times if I wasn't so scared of pain/failure, the event haunts me in my dreams, it's in my head 24/7 and I will never able to forgive myself. That ocd. But the event itself was bad. So maybe i deserve it.
