In reply to Guilt guilt guilt, should I let it take me down?, posted by maggie1970 on June 23, 2005, at 13:35:08
Hey Maggie,
I'm sorry you're so guilt-ridden. Nobody hates you for what you've written! None of us are perfect and a lot of us have the same issues. I think you were very brave to share all of that.
I'm not in any way belittling the way you feel, I'm just going to suggest a coping skill that works well for me. Ask yourself, "Did I do anything wrong?" or "Will this matter in 10 years?" If the answer is no, let it go! Don't worry about it. There would be no reason for you to hang on to the guilt. Then tell yourself something positive to block out those names you're calling yourself. It may take a while, but it may help you ease up on yourself.
I agree with Tamar about counseling. There may be a deeper issue you need to resolve; your feelings sound very, very intense.
