News of Remorse

When I was 15 I did something that I now really REALLY regret. The guilt of it is eating away at me and I can hardly do the things that once made me happy. I didn't realize the weight of my actions at the time and now it's killing me to know what I did.

I was friends with this 8 year old kid down the street, and everything was cool. Nothing wrong happening. We ...

I was raised primarily by my mother and a step father. It was a very unpredictable and hostile environment. My parents also went through about 10 years of legal battles post divorce which was due largely to my mother failing to adhere to visitation orders. Screaming matches were common place. I witnessed/received a fare amount of domestic abuse at the hands of my step father. I developed depression, anxiety (which I still cope with) masochism, ...

Help! Sorry in advance for the wall of text. First time poster here. I've had depression my whole life. I'm 30 now and a new mom. My anxiety and overactive conscience went through the roof after my baby was born 6 months ago. I finally decided to see about meds for the first time in at least 6 years. My doctor put me on a low dose of Prozac and it really does seem to ...

I'm not really much of a Christian - I go to Quaker meeting fairly regularly, but I'm agnostic. I know a lot of really decent Christians, who I consider far, far better humans than myself. But it really scares me the way that *some* Christians take such relish in their belief that non-believers and sinners are going to burn in Hell for eternity. I can understand, somewhat, when this gleeful hatred is directed towards sex ...

I'm I'm a teen and I'm a male. I was intensely screamed at as a child by my dad and I remember being scared to death to even get out of my bed at night and drink water when I was under extremem thirst. I feel as though I was also molested as a child by someone else. My dad has stopped yelling at me mostly and I'm still nervous around him. Due to this ...

So when I was 14, my cousin 7, I slept over at his house. I would sleep over ...

Hi,

My boyfriend broke up with me about a month ago and although I have the expected normal amount of grieving for the relationship, I'm also hating myself for all the thing I'm only now realising that I did wrong, and hurt him.

Throughout the relationship we had issues, and without going into it too much, they were basically his issues with fear of confrontation leading to lying which made my self esteem and jealous ...

(TRIGGER WARNING!)
Please don't read if a description of sexual abuse or a suicidal gesture might be triggering for you.

I had a pretty unusual upbringing. I discuss it with my therapist three times weekly, and she says that what I experienced was a form of abuse, though I have a very hard time accepting that.

I barely remember my dad, and for as long as I can remember my mom drastically favored me over ...
