False confession for self punishment

Has anyone here suffering from depression ever admitted to something they didn’t do or confessed to a crime they didn’t commit for the purposes of self punishment? Does anyone know of anyone who has done that and told their story? I feel I have shot myself in the foot and caused incalculable suffering for my wife and children. I hate myself. Why am I such a weak person? I am not an evil man. I have never hurt anyone but myself and in do doing have hurt my family. I wonder when my suffering will be over. When my family’s suffering will be over.

I don't know what's going on, but I read your bio and I was somebody that was bullied hard myself too when I was younger.

I too also have a lot of things to share with this community, but it's hard because I need to spread those things out over time.

All I can say is that hopefully things get better for the both of us.

Please don’t talk like that. I don’t know what happened but whatever did, it will pass. Suicide is never an answer.

Not what you're looking for?
