Yeah, ever since I was a kid I've always hated lying, but my mon forces me to so she can get more money and valuables from my dad (separated parents). My sister doesn't care but I've always felt disgusted at myself for almost a decade. You're right, it feels so debilitating, especially in morally grey areas.

firstly i’m so sorry about ur situation, and yeah i know people who’ve done far worse things than i have and don’t even feel a little bit of regret but i feel regret over practically everything whether it’s something that i should regret or things i shouldn’t regret. it all becomes jumbled up especially when i mix my actions with my thoughts yk

I feel this too and it definitely has religious ties for me as well. Perfectionism is something I strive for and beat myself up if I don't succeed :/ you're not alone!!

I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

i’ve been dealing with this “thing” since i was 15. (i’m 23 now) if i have a bad memory that i have done when i was really young or just an intrusive thought i feel like i need to tell my mom or boyfriend. it’s been on and off ever since but since January hit it’s been an everyday thing about the littlest things. mostly about my relationship. an example is i was talking to someone random at my job and we were talking about taxes and when im in deep thought or just thinking i do a thing where i bite my lip (not in the sexual way) and i had a thought when it happened “was that sexual?” and i felt like i did something wrong and i went for a while thinking that until i told my boyfriend about it. or like my ex’s face has popped up in my head in the most inappropriate times and i feel the need that i have to tell him. (my ex was not a good person) i feel like im a prisoner in my head everyday, trying to justify thoughts or remind myself that its just a thought. i didnt know that this was or could be a form of ocd. it runs in my family but i’ve just never considered it being this. i always called it anxiety or depression but i always felt like it is more than that.

When OCD latches onto your morals, it can make you question whether you're a good person, even over small things. Have you ever felt overwhelming guilt over something others would brush off?
