Shoplifting guilt
Posted Apr 10, 2011 by anonymous | 2338 views | 6 comments
I always stole from this one store that had no security on anything. I never took anything worth more than $5 until the last time. The reason i need to confess is because i cant get it off my mind... The last time i went i took a sleeping bag (stupid, i know) but when i went through the side door (like i always did) These alarms WAILED. I didnt know what to do so i ran as fast as i could and from behind me i heard at least 3 people running behind me and one yelled THIEF STOP! (of course i didnt). I had never EVER set off an alarm at that store and i was scared shitless. After the adrenalin had died down i realized how wrong i was to steal. My 2 big problems are that i cant get my consience to leave me alone. Ive been trying to forget but cant. My other issue is that the store i stole from is in a mini-mall where i go to the bank, get groceries, and get gas. Im afraid to go back because in my head i see me getting some food and then some cops come up from behind and slap the cuffs. I know it sounds crazy but im going insane from guilt! And its not like they will forgive me if i say im sorry. Im only 16 and can barely afford to live let alone pay a fine. Help me

Nononono. Im not addicted. I have sworn to never steal again. I just cant get it off my mind. I have no intention to ever trying it again. The only reason i ever started was because i have never had any money to spend and stealing got my something for nothing. But i always hated it and now i dont have to feel ashamed for the things i have. And as for the religion thing... someday perhaps

If you can't stop thinking about it and are feeling guilty, this shows that you do have a conscience and know right from wrong. It may be hard but I think the only thing that's going to clear your mind is for you to return the sleeping bag to the store and ask for leniency and hope that they do not charge you. Write a sincere letter of apology and explain that you made a very stupid mistake. Promise that it will not happen again. You may or may not be charged and asked to do some community service as penance. However, you will feel so much better once its off your chest and hopeully you will never do it again. You know its wrong. You can't stay away from that mall forever. They may have even caught you on camera. Make amends before the guilt truly destroys you.

You do need help. A lot of it, anyway. First, I think you are getting addicted to shoplifting and this latest episode will only make it worse. Now that you have tasted the adrenaline rush of being chased, you are subsequently going to put yourself in the way of danger to get the same thrill. My advice is to seek professional or religious help.
