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 😬.

Does anyone deal with rumination with their childhood past mistakes. Deep down I know I didn’t know any better but then I start having thoughts and it gets worse after that. I also recently have dealt with death in the family, started my period, started college and just moved to my own apartment this last month. :-/ I genuinely just wish I could let go of my past I feel like I could be a better person for myself mentally if I could just let it go.

17f I have a lot of events, but my main and my worst one which is absolutely fucking diabolical was done when I was 14 and repeated when I was 16. Everytime I post something about real event ocd here people are like you are probably didn't do anything that bad, and when they hear what I did they are like yeah that's bad. Someone even asked me if I'm autistic cause "it's crazy how you didn't realize that the thing ypu were doing was wrong at this age." And I kinda agree, like it's fucked up It's just that my event is bad. Doesn't mean I don't have real event ocd. You can have a reocd over the event that was bad, it doesn't mean the event wasn't that bad or you don't have recod. It's just people always expect it to be something innocent and it's not Even a healthy person would feel guilty over it, it's just that I had ocd my whole life and it's making the guilt absolutely destructive, like to the point when I sometimes have a hard time breathing when I think about it, I lost more than a year of life to it, almost checked myself out couple of times if I wasn't so scared of pain/failure, the event haunts me in my dreams, it's in my head 24/7 and I will never able to forgive myself. That ocd. But the event itself was bad. So maybe i deserve it.

It’s never been this bad before. I feel like I’ll never get better. Every day I remember new things to feel guilty about and new fears pop into my head. What if I get doxxed? What if I said something online that could get me in trouble? What if I was hacked? What if someone is looking through every post, every message, every account I’ve ever made. I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole and there is no way out. I’m 21, I keep thinking “no one will have grace for you because of your age. You are an adult. You should have know better. You don’t deserve to get better”
