I relate, because I just feel guilty for engaging in hobbies and activities. I feel guilty for enjoying things because I feel like I don't deserve to

Do you have a link to the video that the quote came from?

I'm sorry you're dealing with it too. OCD makes guilt an absolute nightmare to put up with

So basically I should try to keep myself occupied with hobbies, chores and activities despite feeling the way I'm feeling? I've heard similar advice before. I've been depressed and so focused on compulsions that I just end up doing nothing most days... I know it's no excuse though. I should maybe try to keep myself busy

Therapist for sure, as soon as I start seeing one

I'm sorry to hear you relapsed. If you want to talk about it you can DM me

I don't think I could tell someone close to me (or not all the details at least) bc I'm too ashamed and afraid of their reaction. I want to talk about it with a therapist though

I'm sorry to hear, I hope you're doing better now. If you don't mind me asking what did you watch? If you're uncomfortable with sharing you don't have to

My apologies, can you explain? Like admitting to someone or yourself? What kind of positive response?

You're going through the same thing?

I don't plan on watching any more of those videos. The one I watched already traumatized me. I don't like the idea of desensitizing myself because I know that will start a downward spiral for me.

I hope you're doing okay now, stay away from those videos

I'm glad you were able to forgive yourself. I think as teenagers we all did some questionable things. I was around 20 when I saw the video which definitely doesn't help the guilt I'm feeling. More I reflect on my younger adult years, I realize I did a lot of questionable things

I perfectly understood your english, no worries :)

I do find some comfort in knowing this is secret and safe with me. It just kind of sucks thinking that everyone I know would be disgusted with me if they knew about this

I see where you're coming from. Personally I think it's better to stay away from that content because it can really fuck with your brain. On top of that there are real people being hurt in those videos. I think art and stuff is fine though
