[Merder007]

Hi, ummm my obsesses tells me that I had to di3 today but I'm alive. (unfortunately)

And now I'm guilty because I am here with my miserable life 😕.But now I'm guilt so my question is....

How not to be guilty?

(sorry I'm annoying)

[harmocdsucks]

What exactly are you guilty about?

[Merder007 in reply to harmocdsucks]

I'm guilt because I am alive,I'm here, I have heart beat and I'm not dead...

[harmocdsucks in reply to Merder007]

Why would being dead make you not guilty and why does being alive make you guilty?

[harmocdsucks]

Please don’t pay attention to my question if it triggers you or hurts you in any way. I was just trying to help but not sure if I did. I am just worried about you. I am here if you need to talk. I’m here for you!

My pleasure 💗💗💗 please stay safe and feel free to reach out to people. There are more people struggling with guilt ocd than we think so please know you are not alone in this!

The guilt is from the ocd. I think we need to realize that ocd will keep latching on the more we give in to the thought. Lets try to distract ourselves and do other things. We got this

There is a group of people who have all sorts of ocd if this helps you can join the discord!

Hey there,

it's really important to remember that we are not our thoughts. Our obsessions can be really really scary and disturbing because they latch onto what we care about the most , but they are just thoughts. They are unwanted intrusive thoughts. I know it's hard, but what really helps me with the guilt is to disengage from them and move toward something I value. I then remind myself that having unwanted intrusive thoughts isn't my fault or in my control. What I can control is living in my values instead.

This is OCD being a bully as it always is. OCD will tell you all kinds of junk to make you feel awful, guilty, etc etc etc. Tell OCD to hit the road! You are here for a reason my friend.
