I think I'm a terrible person

I don't know if it's true or not but I suspect it is

Is that yourself or other people speaking? Go back to resources you have like positive memories or people you love or care about and care about you. Anxiety and depression are liars. They don´t define you as a person. Depression changes hormonal balance in your brain an blocks receptors for hormoney like oxytocin or endorphin an triggers anxiety. It is not you. Your brain might be lying to you. Your brain is not rational or reliable. :)

usually people who question this... opposite is true

What do you base that on? I think humans are pretty terrible, in general, especially to each other. Most of us do things we regret. None of us are perfect. I suppose if you get some kind of joy from being a terrible person, doing terrible things to others, that might be a different story.

While I can only base my impression of you based on your posts here, you don't seem like a terrible person. Plus, everyone is too complex to be categorized as just good or bad, so even with your terrible aspects you'd still have a variety of great aspects to fall back on.

I've done things I regret I can't forgive myself for
I don't know if I magnify them to be worse than they are I don't know I just know I hate myself

Forgiveness takes time. Have patience with yourself. Healing does not happen over night.

I'm scared I'm going to go to hell if i ctb I'm scared I deserve it

i'm always being told that because i feel guilty at all for the things i've done is proof that i'm not a terrible person, but good people do not do the things i did in the first place.

i'm sorry you feel this way about yourself. other people don't deserve to believe that they're the worst.

Good people do 'bad' things, it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a bad choice. We all make mistakes, things we immensely regret, and things we can't change. The important thing is, we learn from it, and forgive ourselves.

People make the same bad choices, sometimes over and over again, and it might take them longer to learn from it, but it doesn't make them a bad person, at all! Some learn straight away. It's what makes us human

We can even hurt others in the process, which isn't what we intended, but it doesn't make you a bad person. The point is to own up to what you've done, take responsibility, and move on. People are forgiving

And as another user said, those that think they're a bad person, usual aren't.

If you were truly a bad person, you wouldn't give a shit. It would not haunt you, you wouldn't give it a second thought. Now that is a truly bad person. That isn't how you strike me, at all. You are very hard on yourself

I can relate to these feelings, so you're not alone there, and I guarantee many others on here can, too. Trust us, you're not a bad person :-)

So, again, crappy decisions doesn't make anyone a bad person. You are human at the end of the day, we all do it
