It feels horrible, I don’t know why I ever thought or liked this stuff, I like to think I’ve matured a lot since then, but I really don’t feel like I have, I want to believe people can change, but it feels impossible

@OCDHaver Is it related to po**? I’m struggling too with things in the past. Like what if I came across the wrong thing like people related on po** sites and I feel terrible like what if?

@Just Breathe ❤️ It is, but also just really gross things I’ve done. I’ve confessed the worse to others, but I’m terrified of myself, I just really want to live the rest of my life out alone

@OCDHaver I understand. I’m terrified too probably for different reasons but you are definitely not alone

@OCDHaver I just wish someone could help me but sometimes my posts get ignored and then I feel so along and in the dark it makes me feel worse

@Just Breathe ❤️ I’ve seen, I try to respond to as many as possible, I just like to remember how hard it is for me to do things, and I imagine we all feel that way, so responding to others might drain a lot of people on here

@Just Breathe ❤️ It’s okay, we’re all in a lot of pain, I HIGHLY doubt that whatever you’ve done is as bad as mine, I hope you can find peace someday!

I understand those feelings so much. I fear I acted on mine but I can't tell if I ever did..one thing I did act on and regret a lot. I absolutely hate who I was,, I even did these things last year whuch scares me so much. I do belive you've changed, you show so much hatred to what you've done. My themes are really taboo so I always fear others thinking I'm weird or my past..if you ever need anybody to talk to Im here! And I'll look out for you on this app! :)

Thank you so much, it is really hard. And my thoughts and real events are also really taboo, I like to think this is a place free of judgment, I hope we get through this!

I struggle with this too. But understand that we all make mistakes. Sometimes its the things you were exposed to that twist your mind into thinking of things you would never do. Cut off from your life the things that influenced you to do those things, if you havent already, and carry on. There are days where it will be hard to forgive yourself. When you dwell on your past, but look at the change you are making now and be proud of how much you’ve grown. If you fall again, get up. Keep going.

Thank you, this actually really helps. I’ve cut out a lot of things and people that have influenced me like that. Looking back, a lot of people around normalized things that shouldn’t be. I’m happy I know better now, I just wish to be better and to possibly help others if and when I can. It just really hurts knowing I’ve done the things I’ve done

@OCDHaver Exactly. And I’ve sure you’ve heard this one before “you acted on the limited knowledge you had then.” And its true. Or sometimes you just knew it was bad but never really sat down and thought how bad it was. Understand that you are looking at the past with a new and fresh understanding. You won’t ever erase the past, no matter how much you cry about it, but you can change your whole life and mindset now. Do one thing everyday to help someone. It could be the smallest thing. It might not help you get over the guilt/ocd you feel, but youll know that atleast you did one good thing for someone or something. Believe me there were be super bad days when all you think about is the bad/real event stuff. But keep going. Hopefully the other people on thread can read this and bring some help.

@walkingtacostand You’re spot on on the “knew it was bad but didn’t know just how bad it was”. I lacked a lot of self awareness for a lot of years, but I’m just glad I learned and stopped. Thank you for the advice, I’ll try to help others in whatever way I can, thank you!

Same, I’m in bed awake over it right now, my core fear is that the gross things I’ve done mean something about me today. I get confused as to why I even did it but I also get scared that I’d do it again. It makes me sick, especially when I get images and thoughts of me doing it.

When I was a little kid, I used to be horrible. Every time I thought an animal was too cute or something, i’d get violent, terribly violent. I regret it so much and wish I never did anything like that. It follows me in my mind and I hate it even though I was a child. Then a year or two ago, I got upset at my cat and tossed her onto the bed very quickly and hard, and pushed her down. I remember feeling like I didn’t want to hurt her but I didn’t want to let go. I cried after it happened and gave her many treats. Around the same time, my dog got me mad i just smacked her nose but I still feel sick to my stomach thinking about it. Idk if i was 14 or 15 at the time? I would never do anything to hurt any animal now, but why did I ever do it back then? It makes me so sick thinking about it and now I can’t STOP thinking about it. I still never wanted to hurt my cat, but she got on my last nerve at that moment and it happened multiple times and I threw her pretty fast. I can’t believe I’d ever do that. I’ve been hating myself for it ever since i started thinking about it again. I can’t forgive myself and Idk what to do. I wish I could go back in time and never do what I did. She was still only about 5 months old at that time. She means the world to me and we have a very close bond, but now I feel like I can’t love her because what I did. I feel like I can’t have friends, or anything really because I feel like I don’t deserve anything. I feel like a terrible monster and I hate that I ever did anything to a little angel that didn’t even do anything wrong. Idk how to forgive myself. I hate that I did that and I wish I never did. It still wasn’t as bad as it was when I was little, but it’s still not okay at all and I can’t go back in time and change it, so now idk what to do with myself. I feel like I don’t deserve to be around my cats babies even though I love them with all my heart. I’m 16 now and not the same ragey person as i used to be. I had a lot of anger built up from an ex that I was with at the time, but still WHY would I take it out on my beautiful cat. The more I think about it, the worst it gets, it’s sucking up all of my happiness.

I’ve said and done so many hurtful things growing up, especially in elementary and middle school. I was very passive aggressive and mean for a majority of my life, and I’ve hurt peoples feelings. I’m no longer like that now, but every single thing I’ve ever done wrong replays in my head constantly, from the moment I wake up to the second I go to sleep. I know I deserve to feel the chronic guilt and shame, so I feel even more guilty pitying myself. It’s eating me alive, I’m so scared. I know people must hate me, and they have every right to. feel like I don’t deserve to have moments of happiness because I’ve taken that ability away from someone before. I’m not diagnosed, but this has been going on for years and I’m scared to talk to anyone about it because I fear they would look at me differently knowing I’ve hurt someone’s feelings. I feel like a monster. It’s ruining my life and I don’t know what to do.
