We all have things that we regret having done. That makes us human. And if you hadn’t made this mistake ocd would attack somewhere else. OCD is not about the intrusive thought. It is about our response.

@itsAnna do you have access to a computer or laptop you feel comfortable using? i would sign up from the website page on a desktop. go to www.treatmyocd.com ...you just login and click the 'community' tab. you can click 'see all groups' to see everything offered throughout the week. there are also links to the livestreams

@Have a sunflower🌻 I keep getting notifications on this post since I commented and just wanted to say that humor is definitely a cure in the moment sometimes. 😊

@natbrigham Haha thanks! It’s funny when that happens and you become like the third wheel and just observe as the conversation continues. That happens to me sometimes too!

@Have a sunflower🌻 @natbrigham i used humour a lot. made a couple posts on here that were humourous but i deleted them because i wasnt sure the humour-level of folks or if the jokes would be taken wrong. nice to see others make fun of their ocd too :)

@itsAnna Oh good! I’m glad to hear that I didn’t scare you. Sorry that was definitely not my intention! I understand though with most of my ocd topics I can’t really joke about them yet but this time I was able to probably because just knowing I wasn’t alone on the topic eased some of my anxiety.

It's so good that you can recognize this and laugh about it. Sometimes a laugh is all OCD deserves. Regretting mistakes and then being overly careful about future decisions is a struggle for me too.

Oh my goodness! Same! What gets me sometimes too is I did it more than once so it is not really a mistake so much as a bad choice that I kept making 😬.

I think all of us have made mistakes, wether in childhood or teenage years and adulthood. I’ve made terrible mistakes when I was younger ( childhood ) and I’ve been regretting my actions and dealing with severe shame and guilt, I came out okay in the end and been the ideal kid I should’ve been when I was younger. I changed but hearing people like close family saying they would judge past mistakes and you’re allowed to judge, makes me feel horrible. because only if they knew…

I genuinely feel like the worlds most horrible person deeply for my past actions in childhood and general mistakes I’ve made. I feel like I shouldn’t be here or there’s no hope for me despite doing right ( trying to do right ) I’ve wanted to open up to my mom about things from my past but when I was talking to her about a situation that happened just to share, she was like “Thank God you’ve never done anything like that” But really my past mistakes are worst. It’s like I feel like I should disappear. I don’t know how to deal with the guilt and I feel horrible. I’ve made good and bad decisions but despite this being a long time ago ( which doesn’t erase my stupid actions ) I still keep bringing back into the present and I’m filled with guilt I genuinely think it would be better if I wasn’t here. I wake up think about my past things and I’m filled with guilt and shame that maybe I am a bad person and voices don’t stop, they keep telling me a lot of things that I start to believe. It makes me upset that I did something like that in my past and I try to be understanding but I can imagine the reactions of people and being condemned so much. I literally do this to myself every single day and it’s exhausting I don’t know how you guys can treat me with so much compassion and understanding. It really doesn’t feel real or like I deserve it. Like even on nocd, it makes me feel worst because I come across comments that say “as long as it’s not —-“ or something and I compare it to my past and I feel like a horrible unacceptable person.

I’ve posted something vulnerable here before and I’m trying to ride out the wave of reassurance where it’s getting at me and I’m scared of sitting still with nobody to talk to about this at the moment I genuinely think it would be easier if I wasn’t around. I view my friends as pure compared to me and I’m the most impurest. I feel like this would do a favour to stop being here I don’t know what to do, I really don’t know. I’m literally alone in this and I’m getting tired. How do you deal with stupid choices that you made as a child? I’m trying to be understanding of past mistakes but it’s gut wrenching to try and accept to say and admit you did it knowing you’ll spend the rest of your life with that guilt..is there another perspective to this..???
