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

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?

Feel like I’ve made too many mistakes
As the title says I’m obsessive over my mistakes, and past actions to the point of exhaustion but also first of all- no one probably remembers or even knows to begin with these mistakes and yet I’m still punishing myself so hard I can’t even muster up happiness, I just binge eat and ruminate. But here I am cancelling my entire existence, feeling like my life is over that one too many mistakes makes my life unworthy. I wanna go back into society but I get this dread that my past will come back up and people will see it and hate me- hate me so much they kick me out of everything forever.
