Give yourself a break. You are tough. You are strong. You can do this

You are displaying signs of perfectionism. It is okay and perfectly human to slip up once in a while. It doesn't mean you are a failure and it certainly doesnt mean that you aren't showing progress--because you are! Just keep that in mind šš

Iām sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you canāt relate and donāt think youāll say anything helpful or kind pls donāt comment anything⦠Iāve been struggling with somethings thatās making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like Iām enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I havenāt done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that itās just wrong this doesnāt make sense to me because Iāve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and Iāve been known that these things are wrong so Iām just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldnāt act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time Iām genuinely convinced that Iām a horrible and itās even got into the point where I donāt wanna be here anymore and I donāt even think this is my OCD :( tbh

hello everybody! š last saturday i did something i shouldn't have done, and i even posted about it here, but no one responded to my post (it's okay, i completely understand). to inform you, since i deleted the post: i consumed erotic literature where two 14 year old children had a relationship (ā ļø), on wattpad. and i consumed this theme to see if i was really attracted to it..i think. i'm unsure about it, but i know i didn't feel anything consuming it. i was feeling extremely anxious and felt extremely bad the next day, and i only got better when i talked to my girlfriend and an online friend. i'm still feeling bad, i know i shouldn't have done it and whenever i'm feeling genuinely good, it comes back to haunt me.. i'm worried because i'm not feeling enough guilt or remorse, idk.. i feel bad and i regret it, and i can't stand going through this problem anymore.. i was in therapy a few months ago, but i stopped for financial reasons and my psychologist doesn't see me virtually anymore. it's been difficult.. just a vent.

I shouldnāt have done this (trigger trigger trigger!!) So about a month ago..maybe I watched this video (as a compulsion to prove to myself) The video was called āinterview with a p3d0ā And basically it was what it says, I watched or more like listened to half of itā¦after I was disgusted by the person, but now all I can think of is every little thing I do, I feel as if tho Iām monitoring every thought/moment and feeling I have itās torturous and I hate it..I feel disgusting, the person in the video has empathy and sympathy and had those feelings yk, I canāt explain it youād have to watch the video yourself but please donāt it will ruin your journeyā¦I feel more hopeless then before, my OCD is telling me so many things trying to convince me things that Ik arenāt true, Iām just really scared I donāt want to be that person I want to be a good cousin and person to my family, Iām sick of my head and myself, Iām so tired that sometimes I canāt even think straight, my head is always in pain and idek how to help myself..compulsions have been becoming more and more exhausting⦠I need advice or even someone to relate to, I understand I shouldnāt have done what I did but idk how to forget it.. I had made this post already but when someone replied I couldnāt see it for some reason so Iām uploading it again
