News of Remorse

I had a pretty abnormal childhood. I won't go into specifics but it was really unstable. Arguments, schizophrenic parent, abusive behavior etc. I won't try to blame it for any of my life.

I've made a lot of mistakes. In some ways, it seems like i have got less intelligent over the years. I started as the top student in pretty much every subject i had taken, someone who played sports and did martial arts. ...

I wrote up a long detailed explanation of everything that ever happened in one past incident and every lie and truth involved. It was therapeutic to write, but now I can't decide whether to send it, ignore it, or destroy it. So I went from high anxiety to lower while writing to now high again.

... reading through newspaper stories about articles recounting incidents vaguely resembling the one/s you feel guilty about; then, reading all the comments to try to work out how harshly the public would judge you? I do this a lot and while it is probably a lot more meaningless than actually asking people outright about the degree of guilt you should be feeling/ whether you have passed the 'moral event horizon', I still do it.

Hi all, here is my story, sorry for the long post, but I would much appreciate if someone read, I am 24 and from a very conservative jewish community where finding a girl willing to have sex before marriage is impossible, besides that I was not really confident 2 years ago.

Hi guys I am currently in a two year relationship with my girlfriend. The problem is that all of my life I have never felt any significant guilt, only fear of getting caught and punishment.

To get her to shut up I ...

For the past few months I've been absolutely consumed with shame and guilt about some things I did about five years ago, when I was 14-15 years old. I am now 20 years old (I'm a gay male fwiw). I dropped out of university a couple months ago mostly because of the obsessive guilt and shame, and depression, which have taken over my life. I know I have some degree of OCD and I am ...

I've been sad for so long. I feel empty most days, and often have suicidal thought although I never plan to act on them. I've been self harming for years. But I hate myself for all of it. My life isn't even bad, and I shouldn't be feeling this way. I'm just pathetic and weak. There's so many people that have it worse than me, i'm not allowed to be sad and I feel guilty ...

About a year ago I remembered this weird memory from my childhood. I can just barely remember it and I have no recollection of details but it has left me feeling a horrible amount of guilt, shame, and anxiety sense I thought about it again last night.
I think this happened when I was 9 and my sisters were 7 and 6. They were playing pretend "wedding" and asked me to be the priest. I ...
