I’m having nonstop anxiety attacks because I’m making myself believe I cheated

Yes absolutely, I have never cheated, but have thoughts of cheating because I have issues with validation because I had an abusive stepfather, and some bad stuff that happened when I was a child.(unrelated to the stepfather he was verbally and physically abusive only) but ever since I was young, if I did something wrong and I didn’t know what it was I would spiral and think I must have done something absolutely heinous. Anything short of murder, which of course I would never do, I’m not that person, but my anxiety always makes me feel like I’m capable of that stuff, whereas when I’m not anxious I know it wouldn’t be possible for me to even think of doing that.
