Past mistakes online are causing me constant anxiety

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I’m writing because I’ve been struggling with deep guilt and regret over something I did when I was a bit younger. I posted some very provocative and explicit pictures of myself online, and I feel a lot of shame about it now.

At that age, I was immature and emotionally vulnerable, and I think I was seeking validation and attention in the wrong way. I realize now how harmful and misguided that was.

I have tried my best to take the pictures down, and I repented sincerely. I prayed Salat al-Tawbah and I ask Allah for forgiveness often.

But my heart still feels heavy because I know those pictures may still exist somewhere, or that someone may have saved them. What makes it harder is the fear that I could still be receiving sin if people view them, even though I regret it completely and have tried to remove them.

I want to move forward and have peace after tawbah, but I still feel haunted by my past. Any advice would mean a lot.

Jazakum Allahu khayran.
