I have many faults, one being beating myself up. My husband is a perfectionist when it comes to our home and property. I joke with him about being OCD – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Yet, I wonder if there is an inner OCD – or maybe better called
OBD – Obsessive Beating Disorder
I beat myself up, sometimes for hours or days, over mistakes. If I offend someone I can feel bad for an excessive amount of time. I relive it, rethink it. Then I consider ways I could have done it different. Should I do something to fix it? Do I need to be extra kind now and apologize numerous times?
I’d love the day to come that I:
- can admit I am wrong
- say I’m sorry
- make restitution if necessary
- move on
OFD – Obsessive Forgiveness Disorder
I want this!
