PhilM Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 You're asking forum users to advise you if you should hurt yourself? I think the answer is pretty obvious. NO, don't. Link to comment

Take well balanced responsibility for the action and its consequences. Meaning... 2. Make it right by apologising and showing the person you hurt that you understand what you did was wrong. 3. Don't punish yourself endlessly. If you've said sorry and that you don't want to do it again, that's enough. 4. Forgive yourself. As soon as you've forgiven yourself, naturally you will move on. This is ok, there is nothing wrong with moving on. 5. Ignore your oCD using the methods you've learned that work for you! Link to comment
Guest PaulM Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm very hard on myself as well. However, someone taught me recently to treat myself like I would treat a friend. What would you tell a friend who made a mistake? Link to comment
