I can relate; I have nightmares about this stuff.

Same here - this is a good topic for me.

Just curious, in what way.

I can truthfully say that scrupulosity is not my problem. I’m kind of like Paul in that when I try to do right I end up doing wrong but I find it very easy to ask for and accept forgiveness.

I have a friend who has an immoral past (according to her). She tells me that I don’t understand, that I haven’t sinned the way she has, I say you don’t have a clue, I am more than far from perfect but my sins have rarely been public sins and I don’t sit around and talk about them because they are gone.

I think she sins in her scrupulosity because she doesn’t accept the gift of forgiveness which Jesus died to give her.

Just an example, I even find myself sinning in Mass sometimes with my thoughts! But as soon as I do I ask for forgiveness and accept it, not as my right but as my great gift from Jesus.
