Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

That's a very low bar for ruining lives.
Consider that you have discovered a disturbing trend in yourself that you would like to address before it hurts more people... and also consider forgiving yourself while you work to be better.
As another said, therapy is a good idea, especially as you know one of the things you would like to address in that therapy.
It's a long journey to be a better person, but not because it's difficult to make progress. It's long because once you've started, you develop the skills to continue being introspective and working toward your true self.
