    Dear Guilt and Cookies:

    I suggest that you see a professional psychotherapist/ counselor and bring up the topic of your thread in the professional, private setting of psychotherapy. What troubles is significant enough to require professional assistance, and the sensitive topic itself requires a private setting, not a public setting such as these and other forums.

    Hi Guilt and Cookies,

    Maybe an affirmation, “I forgive myself for anything/everything I did before I was eighteen” or “I forgive my childhood self” could do the trick.

    Kids do a lot of gross, crazy, and inappropriate stuff. They are, by definition, immature. Meaning they are half baked. I knew kids who hung cats in the woods. You think they feel guilty now? If they do, they’d never admit to it and moved on. At least you are tormented by guilt. But how much longer are you going to beat yourself up?

    Best,

    Inky

    Dear Inky,

    Thanks for understanding. I’m still very disturbed by it and honestly did not mean to do it. I love my little brother and would never do anything intentionally to hurt him. I regretted it the moment I realized it and have regretted it ever since. It’s been eating me up inside. It was a mistake, a mistake I will never be able to take back. I prayed even though I don’t believe in God and have tried hard to make up for it. I feel sick and shameful when I think of it, since I was already having bad thoughts, this pushed it all over. Thanks for replying.
