Guilt
Does anyone know how to deal with guilt for something you did as a kid that you feel is disgusting and worry that it could have hurt someone you loved.

Yeah I feel that way, it's taken so much from me for over a year now. I can't forgive myself, I feel like what I did was pretty bad. But I constantly remind myself I was a kid and should just forget it but my mind doesn't let me do that. Idk how to just forget it and move on, I'm constantly paranoid about it

Arguing with your mind by saying you've been a kid back in the time is compulsive. This is why thoughts keep coming back. Thank your thoughts for reminding you and invite them to stay longer and practice that. I know it sounds weird in the beginning but it's practice.

It's a process. I've dealing with guilt and other mental fallout from stupid things I did as a kid and that's really all I can say. When it comes up to bother me I just remember that I can't figure out what happened back then and I can't keep bringing those events into the present. I focus on my ERP and sit with the anxiety as I go about my day until it passes. And I just trust the process. I can't hope to have a certain outcome. That's the hardest part. I guess just remember that your current self doesn't owe that guilt anything

I’m no longer like that now, but every single thing I’ve ever done wrong replays in my head constantly, from the mo...

I am really worried that I may have SA'ed my little sister. When we were very young, and I mean, really, really young, I was 5 I think. I used to kiss my sister, because I was curious and my mom caught us and she told me not to do it again and I didn't. But when I was about 11 she felt on my lap and I liked the sen...
