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

High anxiety and perfectionism
I have sent nudes before when I was younger and I am really struggling with the fact that I have sent them because it makes me feel like I am such a bad person and I don’t deserve certain things. I try my hardest to be a good person and do the right things but I obviously have made lots and lots of mistakes. I cannot get over these mistakes I’ve made because I judge myself so hard for them and it’s making it hard to function.

Will this affect me in the future?
When i was between the ages of 11-18 i was a very mentally ill and hyper sexual kid. I did a lot pf sexting, sent nudes, and even one video of me doing inappropriate things that haunt me to this day. I have changed a lot since then and realized that this was all jn relation to (TW!!) sexual abuse i experienced as a child/teen. I still feel horrible for the things that I have done and think about this daily. I beat myself up because I know it was wrong of me to act that way growing up. Im afraid that someone will find these texts/pictures/videos one day and it will lead to my complete humiliation. I want to throw up at the thought of people i know and love seeing me act that. Its not who I am or who I ever was. I regret that part of my life so deeply it hurts.
