Things i did as a kid
How do I forgive myself for things I did as a kid? Disgusting terrible illegal things? I’m grown and I would never do them now, but how do I move on?

I have the same problem. Just know you’re not alone. I have so so much guilt from it that sometimes I feel like I’m dying from the thought of it. I’m grown now too, and I would never ever do those things again. To realize too, I was a child learning and being impulsive. I’m still learning to cope with it. Sending you love❤️
You need to acknowledge that you genuinely wouldn't do this now. A bad person wouldn't feel remorse or regret or guilt etc. This feeling you have in general just proves that you have grown. No guilt is needed. And all kids do bad things they aren't proud of but you gotta remember it's not just you and you were just a kid. You know better now
I have found that my OCD really makes guilt more intense. I have a hard time with getting over guilt too. I think it can help to identify what is going on. The OCD is hijacking our healthy consciences and then laying a burden of impossible guilt on us. But human beings were never meant to live under a blanket of impossible guilt. You can take your life back from OCD. It starts with recognizing that this guilt is not for you. Then you can take steps to defeat it. Big hugs. You are in good company. Don’t feel guilty about the past. You can live in grace. 💙💙
Think of this life as a training ground for something better—let's call it heaven. If we were born in that perfect place without any training, we would still make mistakes. Those mistakes would ruin the utopia. So, don’t feel bad about your mistakes. This life is meant for learning, and it’s okay to stumble along the way. Each mistake is a chance to grow and improve. Remember, this world is not the final destination; it’s a place where we prepare for something even greater. Embrace the lessons you learn here! Have a great day
I’m here with you too ☝🏼
18+! When I was child I was VERY hyper-sexual I’m not sure when it started. All I remember I was being very sexual with other kids at the time, I think I thought it was normal and nobody was stopping me either at the time so I had no idea I was in the wrong. I think I had to be 13 or 14 where it hit me out of nowhere that I was wrong. The floodgate of anxiety was horrible I had so much guilt it was eating me up. I had to stay home, I quit going to family gatherings, quit hanging out with new friends I’ve made, I cried a lot. Til this day I think about it everyday and the amount of guilt on my chest. If I could go back and change it all I would. I wish I could have a better understanding of me and why I was doing it. It’s the guilt and anxiety I deal with every single day. I never meant to hurt anyone.
I have made multiple mistakes in my past that lead me to believe im a bad person. thinking about them often sends me into a panic attack. i cant help but feel i need to be punished. i hate this feeling, what should i do?
When i was between the ages of 11-18 i was a very mentally ill and hyper sexual kid. I did a lot pf sexting, sent nudes, and even one video of me doing inappropriate things that haunt me to this day. I have changed a lot since then and realized that this was all jn relation to (TW!!) sexual abuse i experienced as a child/teen. I still feel horrible for the things that I have done and think about this daily. I beat myself up because I know it was wrong of me to act that way growing up. Im afraid that someone will find these texts/pictures/videos one day and it will lead to my complete humiliation. I want to throw up at the thought of people i know and love seeing me act that. Its not who I am or who I ever was. I regret that part of my life so deeply it hurts.
