I am totally with you on this. I had and I guess still do have an unhealthy relationship with pornography. I went down some dark rabbit holes and one day woke up and was like wtf am I doing!? Since then it has latched into everything and the guilt and shame are so real. The best we can do is have self compassion and remember we are human. We make mistakes and it’s what we do now and in the future that make us better.

Real memory ocd. You have to put in mind that whatever you did in the past is over and it doesn't define you in the present moment. You feeling all that guilt about it 100% means you're a good person. We are humans we make mistakes and that's fine. What matters is this current moment and nothing else.

@Rey ⚜️ Maybe do something good whenever you remember a memory, this can remove your guilt and always remember that you're in the present moment. Your old actions are over and they don't matter. What matters right now is your values at the moment.

I had a very similar real event/pocd combo because of the disturbing taboo porn I saw when I was about 15. I do erp therapy through here and told my therapist about it, it helped a ton. My ocd uses it as evidence or proof a lot and it really drives me insane and makes me sick bc I’m in no way attracted to kids and I can’t even figure out why I watched it because it’s disgusting looking back.
