I've made so many mistakes in my life. They repeat in my head when I'm finally feeling good again. But you know what? I say to myself it happened already. There is no changing from it. The fact that I regret those things makes me a human being and shows I have emotions and WANT to change and grow. Without your mistakes where would you be today? It's learning lessons. It's okay to regret things, but also accept that you wanted that at the time. You are growing !!!

@Anon123 When You have ocd your brain always will latch on something and say to you that this is the one, if that mistake in the past wouldnt have happened your life now could be normal and happy. This is just illusion.

@Surisho I feel like i would truly be happy though because before that mistake, my ocd was mild or barely there and after i got Real Event OCD, it just went severe, got multiple other themes and made me drop of my major etc.

@Anon123 Yes because this is just the nature of ocd. It will be convincing with saying 0/1 phrases like you ruined your life with that or that mistake and makes feelings of guilt and shame grows.

A lot of my OCD revolves around some of my past mistakes. The way I think about it is this: Everyone in life will experience a big mistake at some point. Not everyone's mistake will be the same but it's how we are as imperfect people. I wish I could go back and repeat the right way too- but I also know I've learned and grown from my mistakes. I think that's the best thing you can do after big mistakes. Praying for you friend, for your good health and for your strength to forgive yourself. I'm in the same process with you

Childhood past.
Does anyone deal with rumination with their childhood past mistakes. Deep down I know I didn’t know any better but then I start having thoughts and it gets worse after that. I also recently have dealt with death in the family, started my period, started college and just moved to my own apartment this last month. :-/ I genuinely just wish I could let go of my past I feel like I could be a better person for myself mentally if I could just let it go.

vent (any opinions or words would be appreciated.)
I think all of us have made mistakes, wether in childhood or teenage years and adulthood. I’ve made terrible mistakes when I was younger ( childhood ) and I’ve been regretting my actions and dealing with severe shame and guilt, I came out okay in the end and been the ideal kid I should’ve been when I was younger. I changed but hearing people like close family saying they would judge past mistakes and you’re allowed to judge, makes me feel horrible. because only if they knew…

Please help.
I’ve posted something vulnerable here before and I’m trying to ride out the wave of reassurance where it’s getting at me and I’m scared of sitting still with nobody to talk to about this at the moment I genuinely think it would be easier if I wasn’t around. I view my friends as pure compared to me and I’m the most impurest. I feel like this would do a favour to stop being here I don’t know what to do, I really don’t know. I’m literally alone in this and I’m getting tired. How do you deal with stupid choices that you made as a child? I’m trying to be understanding of past mistakes but it’s gut wrenching to try and accept to say and admit you did it knowing you’ll spend the rest of your life with that guilt..is there another perspective to this..???
