Social media

Oh dear. That's so complicated and I can understand you. First of all if you were a "wrong doing person" you've acknowledged that and you try to change, which to me is a sign that you no longer are "bad" whatever that means. Secondly the fact that you think about the past means that you've regretted the things you've done, and it matters to you not happening again. We've all done some things we regretted our past is a part of ourselves but does not define our future selves (if we've changed since then) So my opinion is, stop self punishing yourself for the things that happened five years ago (a really long time ago), forgive your actions. And social media is indeed an awful place, with a distorted truth full of toxicity. I would take a break from them or expose myself a little time in feed that is more educational or for having fun. I hope this helps. Wishing you, best !

Its important to give yourself grave and compassion. You obviously have changed to be better, but OCD can keep bringing up your past to weigh on you. It helps to acknowledge your thoughts but try and redirect yourself to whats happening in the present. Doing ERP with a specialist could help as well. Social media can wind up a lot of anxiety. There’s an insane bullying mentality when it comes to cancel culture where its meant to bring pretty bad people to take accountability. Mostly what I see now is things from the past getting brought up or petty drama out of spite. It shouldn’t be normal or encouraged to harass others who’ve changed after making mistakes. Luckily there is an influx of people who believe its insane to trudge up the past to harass someone.
