In desperate need of advice. I'm a bad person.
Before you read, this is going to deal with themes sexual harassment and abuse. I imagine a lot of people struggle with this, so if it triggers you, don't read this. I just need advice from people who also have OCD. I'll just come out and say it. I believe I've been abusive to my best friend. I've been incredibly suicidal and stuck in OCD spirals for the last 2 years. I know that's not an excuse, but, just know that I don't enjoy hurting people. I'm pretty confident I've been emotionally abusive, as well as a sexual harasser. I also believe I have/have tried to sexually assault her, but I'm not sure. If you need me to explain why I think these things, I can try to explain. I thought I was a good friend. I really did. But when I realized I wasn't, I've just shut down. I ghosted her for a bit. She eventually started rallying my friends to do a wellness check for me. I finally said something to her. I just said I was struggling. What she said pierces my heart like a knife. "Okay. If you need anything don't be afraid to reach out. I miss you." It hurts. It hurts. It hurts it hurts it hurts. If she hated me this would be so much easier to navigate. Her saying that makes me wonder if I'm freaking out too much. But then I don't want to freak out too little, so I freak out hardcore just in case. ...I genuinely care for this woman. I swear, I haven't actually wanted to hurt her. I may be a piece of shit, but I don't want to deliberately hurt people. I keep ruminating, looking for stories of people in a similar situation as me. I can't find any. Either they made mistakes while they were drunk, or they're actually just a piece of shit who gets off on the pain of others. I feel so lost and scared. I hate how this is a problem only I have. Please... Help me. Give me some sort of advice. My hands are shaking and tears are streaming down my face as I finish writing this.
