Agree with the thoughts, but to an extreme and sarcastic degree

Like “yes I am so horrible now I am going to go doing something else” ?

@Anonymous Yes. It works for me sometimes. Since OCD uses hyperbole to scare us, why not turn it around on it. Next time you feel like a bad person say “I’m the WORST person in the history of EVER and there’s no way anything will EVER change.” That way you see how illogical it is but you also aren’t acting in fear of the thought.

What to do when we feel guilty about our ocd checking and compulsive behaviors?

I look back at various past events in my life where I said or did things that I feel really guilty, disgusted, and ashamed about. I replay them in my head for hours. I feel anxious about crossing paths with people that I've hurt or upset in the past or who perceive me badly, to the point that I will avoid going out in public as much as possible. I go out for work, errands, appointments, and occasionally to eat (even though those all give me a lot of anxiety), but I avoid community events where people might recognize me and I tend to isolate myself. The only people I see regularly are my boyfriend, my parents, and my coworkers. I live in a small community and I'm worried about people confronting me publicly and proving what a bad person I must be.

I want to move on and accept my past mistakes, but I feel like truly forgiving myself isn’t acceptable. My therapist says not to judge my past self but seek to understand. But if what I’ve done has gone against my moral values, how exactly do I do this? I’ve learned my lesson, and I just want to move on. But that feels like letting myself off the hook. Any tips or advice??
