Yeah - real event OCD sucks! Does doing one 'good' thing make you superior to everyone else? No. So why do we believe one 'bad' thing condemns us as the worst person in the world? We're only human - try to remind yourself it's the OCD that is the problem, not the event. Sending love! X

I have moral scrupulosity OCD and this is EXACTLY how I feel. I also feel the need to confess everything so they can love me for who I actually am, instead of always thinking “if they knew they wouldn’t want to be with me or my friend “

I deal with confession as well, just today I got serval really bad sexual intrusive thoughts that made me very anxious and I wanted to tell my boyfriend them, I know he would leave me if he knew the thoughts..

@Anonymous It definitely makes relationships hard, I did over share, so I feel, in the past and it doesn’t always end well. But luckily I’m with a partner that understands my thought process and it makes things easier

@Munneka I’m glad your with a partner that is able to accept you, do you mind if I ask do you feel safe enough to tell about your thoughts and past mistakes? Do you think it’s important for me to tell my bf my intrusive thoughts?

@Anonymous I know how hard it can be to keep it to yourself but I personally think that you shouldn’t have to voice your thoughts, that’s the only thing that are belongs to you only! You’re allowed to think whatever you want without feeling bad or guilty or feeling like you need to confess anything, your thoughts or even dreaming is not you doing anything wrong, it’s you being human!

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.

Hi everyone, I’m new here, and I wanted to share my experience. I’ve been struggling for over a year now on obsessing over a mistake. And the rumination of the mistake I made has been overwhelming and exhausting in those two years. I feel like such a horrible person. At the time, I didn’t realize what I was doing would affect me so much. When I realized it was wrong, I just said I’ll never do it again, and I moved on. But then months later, I was reminded of what I did, and I felt like I did the worst thing in the world, and that my life will never be normal again. And ever since then, it’s been a constant thought. And it’s exhausting. I have been able to open up to my family and a close friend about it and their reactions were so nonchalant compared to what my brain has been telling me. They say it wasn’t even that bad, and that I shouldn’t be beating myself up. I tell them how badly I feel and they just act like it was nothing. I thought that would help, but my brain continues to tell me how horrible of a person I am and I obsess over this one mistake I made two years ago. I’ve learned from it, I’ve moved on, I’ve opened up about it, I’ve gotten reassurance, but yet it still eats at me. It’s constant some days. Where all I wanna do is lay down in a corner and never leave. I feel like my life will never be normal again and I’ll never experience happiness again. Whenever I smile or feel any type of joy my brain tells me to stop and reminds me that I’m a bad person and I don’t deserve to be happy. Even though everyone tells me what I did wasn’t even that bad. And that it doesn’t make me who I am. But guess it’s not enough and I’m really running out of options.

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”
