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

Wishing I’d grown up without the Internet
I really wish my formative teen years weren’t spent online during a time before anyone really understood what a digital footprint was. There’s so much I did online as a teen that I am NOT proud of, and it’s impossible to just scrub away, it’ll always linger somewhere somehow. It makes me wish I’d never grown up with the internet at all, and I get jealous of those who were able to live in a time without their every action being permanently documented and catalogued.

Regret
I have intense regret about the past. If I know something earlier, or if I choose differently, or be a bit braver or more confident, I would have a different life. My current would be much better. I think about this all the time everyday. I wonder if itself has become ocd? Has anyone have the same experience?
