I'm 26 and live at home because I'm severely mentally ill lol. My parents pay for whatever, just like MJ I procrastinate and I also struggle to work full-time and that makes me feel like a total bum. And just like MARS, I was constantly blamed for things and accused of being manipulative when I was a child and nobody else thinks I was in the slightest, it was projection of my mother's own mental issues whenever she felt jealous (of course her being awful made my dad more protective and it was a cycle). I never dared ask for things as a child and now I feel awkward about getting anything. I look at my belongings and all I feel is guilt and like I don't deserve them. But am I spoiled? Probably not. I'm comfortable, my parents def aren't poor and they don't let financial stuff become a stressor to me. Society tends to condition us to feel unworthy of anything we haven't slaved for. And I feel as if I'm just taking from my family when I want to be able to give. It's rough. But feeling guilty about it isn't going to motivate me to change what I'm not happy about, it only puts me in a worse state of mind to improve things.

Yes. I'm 22, I live at home. I'm an online student because I didnt do well in my exams the first time round. My mental health is crap. I dont work, my parents pay for my tuition too and they said i dont have to work as long as i pass my exams. I procrastinate a lot when I'm stressed and i feel like a spoilt brat. I dont think in my heart I'm spoilt, I know how lucky I am but i feel that others will think I'm a brat and I've not had struggles because my parents helped me out so much. :(

When I was a child before my parents lost their jobs/my mother got sick, I was an extremely spoiled child. It didn’t help my dad put a lot of blame on me and said i was manipulative (me being a literal child at the time) so I completely understand your guilt. I can see where the ocd in my own childhood would come from now that I look back because I too felt this same exact guilt to where I would stop asking for things because I felt so bad. Katie is right, ocd takes things completely out of proportion.

His so I have a question. Should I feel guilty for things I do like without thinking or naturally. Like for example if I’m around a person I find attractive I will naturally try to be funny or come off as attractive not in a bad way like it just happens I’m not usually aware of it until after it happens.Sometimes I do and say things without an intention it just kinda happens and then My brain after it will Be like oh you did that because of this and that. Or sometimes it’ll tell me I did it for a certain intention that I didn’t do it for, but it’s hard sometimes when I do things without a certain intention so then I can’t tell my intentions and I spiral but sometimes my brain is right and it makes me feel guilty because if I knew that’s was my intention I never would have done it if that makes sense. Is this part of OCD

I had a blasphemous thought against the holy spirit s few days ago a bc it’s been on my mind. So today i asked my mom: “ does God take someone’s life away if they committed the sin of blasphemy” and she responded with “Maybe yes or maybe no, he can maybe give that person days to live until the destined day that person has to die, dies.” And after she said that i’ve been kind of anxious and asking for forgiveness. Keep in mind that i wasn’t feel bad about this thought before. Idk why. Now i’m anxious.

I’ve been struggling with something that’s been really overwhelming, and I’m hoping to get some perspective from others here. I feel a lot of guilt about it, and I’m not sure if I’m alone in this experience. Lately, I’ve found myself daydreaming about romantic situations or getting caught up in ‘what if’ scenarios—where I wonder if I could develop feelings for someone else, or if someone develops feelings for me. The thing is, I’m in a relationship that I love, and I don’t want to act on these thoughts at all. What makes it even harder is that these thoughts often hyperfixate on one specific friend, and sometimes they feel entertaining or give me a dopamine rush. But then, of course, I feel even more guilty because it makes me feel like I’m betraying my boyfriend. These thoughts usually happen when I’m upset and looking for comfort, but then they morph into romantic scenarios, which makes me feel so disloyal. I’m constantly going back and forth between feeling curious or entertained by the thoughts and then feeling horrible for even allowing them to happen in the first place. I keep confessing these thoughts to my boyfriend, and he tries to be understanding. He’s just never been the type to daydream, so he doesn’t know if this is something other people experience or if it’s just me. I feel like such an awful girlfriend. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
