OCD guilt.. Let it go ☮️

Treat the immense guilt that you feel as a result of receiving ocd thoughts/feelings the same way you treat the intrusive thoughts themselves. It doesn’t belong to you. Don’t beat yourself up for receiving thoughts you never asked for in the first place. Show yourself compassion for fighting through your daily struggles despite the OCD and give yourself a pat on the back for the commitment required to simply stay afloat. Beating yourself up might feel justified but it’s not.. and it helps nobody including yourself. It’s all good. Move forward 🫡☮️

I feel like that’s me but sometimes I feel like my mind thinks like what if it’s not your OCD and it’s actually who you are

I needed to hear this. Trouble is I have guilt for my past mistakes or real events, so getting rid of or accept that shame/guilt is difficult. I lean on Jesus and my faith a lot for that.

@alan87 Faith is all you need as well as self compassion. The same way that the truth returns when you sit through erp, self compassion returns when you sit through the guilt without judging yourself for it. You’ll be able to see the sequence of events leading to whatever it was clearly and learn to recognize the humanity in yourself and forgive yourself. ☮️❤️

@thatguytron32 Also you don’t have to accept the guilt to be yours, but accept it as being there just like the intrusive thoughts. As for real real events, again just sit through the guilt without judging yourself and remember you have ocd throughout the process. Remains detached. God has already forgiven all for everything. We’re good ☮️❤️

@thatguytron32 Thank you so much for your kind words. I am bookmarking this thread so I can come back to these words. You are very kind and supporting. I take it you are Christian?

@thatguytron32 God is good! I am so grateful and happy to have my faith and Jesus. I was baptized and confirmed Catholic when I was 12 years old or so. I had been away from the church for 20 years starting at 18 until about 2 years ago. I had a really bad OCD episode surrounding harm/morbid thoughts. I felt an urge or desire to go to church. So I looked up Catholic churches near me. Now I go to mass every Saturday. It really is the best thing.

I hear you brother. I know the struggle! I do not practice religion but absolutely have Christ in my life. Faith is truly all we need in life. Good luck showing yourself some love and compassion (and forgiveness). You’re only human though ocd wants us to think we’re meant to be perfect. Take being in this community and working on yourself as your own confidence and gratitude boost knowing you’re doing your best is what matters and relieves you of the guilt. You’ll see for yourself 🫡💯
