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!

@natbrigham Haha yea it’s like hey 👋 so not that I’ve been reading the whole conversation (I’ve been reading the whole conversation 😂) but I came across this comment that resonates with me… Don’t worry you don’t seem creepy. We post on here knowing anyone can read it haha

@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’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..???

Hate myself for who I used to be. I used to sleep around. I drove drunk a couple times. I was careless. I’m so ashamed because it’s not who I am and especially not who I am now. I did it because I was lonely. And now I suffer not knowing if I hit or killed or hurt someone. This pain is just draining.

Ive also realized... if it's my own fault I have POCD and Real Events OCD to begin with... because of the genuinely horrible real events I've done... then why should I even feel any ounce of sympathy for myself? I don't feel sorry for myself because why would I feel sorry for something I hate? It's my fault right? I did this to myself so I face the consequences... thats how the world works right? I did so many bad things as a teen, so the karma finally catches up to me... right? So yeah... I deserve this... all of this... it's so funny... thinking I deserve a happy life... its all just one big joke... my life is a joke... but jokes at least have a purpose and make people laugh. People do laugh. At me, and not with me. So yeah. I deserve this. All of this. I accept it. I accept it all. Come take me god. Cause I dont want to be here in this world anymore.
