Yes, excessive guilt over past actions, like injuring someone while playing, can be related to OCD, especially Moral Scrupulosity OCD. It involves obsessive guilt, over-responsibility, and constant self-judgment.
To manage it:
1. Recognize it’s irrational – Accidents happen; guilt doesn’t change the past.
2. Challenge the guilt – Would you blame someone else for the same thing?
3. Practice self-forgiveness – You’re not defined by one mistake.
4. Consider therapy (CBT/ERP) – Helps break the guilt-obsession cycle.
If it’s persistent or distressing, therapy can help. If you want to take online therapy sessions, connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five. I can help you work through these challenges with therapy and coping strategies.

Hi.. Guilt over past actions can be related to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), especially in the form of obsessive guilt or moral scrupulosity. In OCD, individuals may experience persistent, intrusive thoughts about past mistakes and feel an overwhelming need to seek reassurance or perform compulsions to relieve their distress. This differs from normal guilt because it is excessive, irrational, and significantly impacts daily life. Medicines and therapy can help you.
