After a long time of dwelling with remorse, guilt and other emotions related to past actions, I believe I finally found a solution that goes as follows:

"The things I have done were wrong, but I did not realize at the time of my actions that what I was doing was wrong. Therefore, it was not my fault for doing what I did. However, those actions were still wrong and I should try my best ...

Hi y'all, I hope you're doing well. I'm new here and I've seen a few of your posts. I've found that there is so much compassion and understanding here, so I wanted to share my story. A little bit of context, I have been diagnosed for Pure O-OCD, and I have had disturbing intrusive thoughts for most of my life. I am currently in my early 20's, I have graduated from college. I'm not from ...

My brother in his 40s has apparently had paranoia for years, although I only realized how serious it was in recent months. He'd strangely left jobs over the years and maybe there were other signs I didn't notice. In recent months, he sold his house and moved in with our parents. He's talked about people sneaking around and messing with his life and framing him. He's afraid that electronics around him are always being hacked ...

What are your thoughts on the Bill Gov. Newsom recently signed? (Mental Health Services Act, and Assembly Bill 531) It looks like they're increasing funding for mental health which is good, but I'm concerned about the possibility of involuntary treatment.

I don't believe California would do that but I live in a predominately right ...

I am 30 (M) now and my cousin is 25(M) almost 26. I feel incredibly guilty over childhood sexual experiences that continued into our teenage and young adult years. I grew up in a verbally abusive single-parent home with a father who was an alcoholic and a grandparent who was not very loving. I also encountered episodes of physical abuse and mental abuse during this time. My sister and brother were both expelled from our ...

i raped my girlfriend when i was 23. i was in almost a psychotic state when i did it. it was horrific. im posting this here because ive tried searching all over the internet for "what to do if you rape someone" or "how to change if you are an abuser" and i cant find ######6 anything. its weird that theres literally nothing on the internet for the perpetrators of abuse to change themselves. i ...

Over a decade or so, i have been facing issues with social support. It seems like most of the times, i don't want to be in touch with people, and some times the ones from whom i seek advice or support tend to ignore me in a toxic way.

Friends don't take up my call. And, sometimes they ignore me in many things. All i lack is faking skills which keep friendships intact. But, i ...

I'll try and keep this as short as possible. I started dating a girl I'd known since high school towards the end of last year. We only casually knew one another and didn't keep in contact over the years and are both now 35. She'd always been a girl who was super outgoing, nice and went to Church all the time. I went into the relationship giving 100% of my trust.
During the relationship she ...
