Hey Dan! I actually was writing a reply to you the other day but the post disappeared. You've gone thru a lot of stuff. Traumatic things are hard to work through.. Is your therapist addressing the tough things in your past too? Such as your ex? You are not a monster. OCD wants you to magically come up with a time machine, to go back and rearrange the past. But how rude of OCD to demand such an impossible task! We can never please OCD. And it's the OCD shouting all these distressing thoughts and memories at you, it's not your fault. Please stop judging your past, please don't judge your decisions from being a child. Your brain develops rapidly right up until our 20's, which is a scientific fact. Our decision making and understanding is one of those parts that constantly develop! A child doesn't know touching fire will burn them, but we as adults know that. Likewise, we do things when we are children with a completely different level of understanding than to an adult. When I was a young child I used to take my goldfish out of the tank and put it in my hand, or on the carpet and watch it squirm around. I feel bad about that! But also, I was a kid right? So many people in my real life, have told me face to face that they have had sexual experiences with other children, yes sometimes other children in their family. The young brain literally doesn't understand decision making as we adults do. It's not their fault. I encourage you to just keep on keeping on with therapy! 🙏 Jesus says in Matthew 28:11 Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly. All the toiling and distress and fear and never ending pain, can be finished when coming to Jesus. Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you. Life doesn't have to be this way Dan. Life doesn't have to be defined by hopelessness! It's quite bizzare I honestly woke up thinking about your post from the other day, and came to check the app, it's early morning when I live. And this post was the first on my feed!! So I am glad I got to finally talk to you. Please don't give up Dan. You are very important and have so much worth. You were bought at a price! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@Dan Lol! I don't know, that's something you would have to decide. Personally, I have to feel someone is genuinely very nice and non judgemental for me to open up about the real harrowing parts of my life. When I have tried to do it our of desperation for help with the wrong people, it always was not a good experience and I would leave feeling raw and exposed and regretting it. If he had proven himself to be non judgmental, compassionate and HELPFUL and a good listener in your other sessions then that's good proof. If he hasn't... Mmm maybe not the person right now?

@Dan That's ok You can be embRassed and still say it. You can be afraid and still ask for help. We can do all these things with uncomfortable emotions I don't think anyone on this earth is calm, cool and collected opening up about hard times lol
