I am bad. Not terrible, but, I deserve all the bad things happening me because I’m not a good person. Now I think there’s worse things than being a bad person in this world but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m bad.

No you don’t. You do deserve living with and processing feelings of remorse about what you’ve done. You can give yourself a pass on things you think but don’t act on. Mostly, you deserve the grueling task of changing to become a better person.
I’m not so sure about that. Some people deserve the bad… they made a choice.
This is what is called a shame spiral. How do you get out of it? As this reply said give yourself a pass. Being able to identify negative self-talk is the first step to being able to lift yourself out of it. For me learning to identify and exit the spiral of shame has had a huge positive effect on my mental health and made existence more tolerable.
