Coping with guilt
Does anyone have any tips on how to cope with feeling guilty or being made to feel guilty by others?

Guilt is a really bad feeling -- I hate it too.
Basically the only way around it I use is I just try to take my mind off it. It's very difficult sometimes, but I use the same sorts of distractions as I use if I have an urge/if I feel down.
I'm so sorry you feel bad/guilty... **Hugs and comforts**
Lots of love,

Re: Coping with guilt
I hope I’m not oversimplifying what you are experiencing, but—to my mind:Dungeon_Lilly wrote:Does anyone have any tips on how to cope with feeling guilty or being made to feel guilty by others?
• In regards to coping with guilty feelings: You are the one who decided to interpret whatever in such a way so as to believe that you should feel guilty in the first place. Might your “guilt” ultimately be unfounded?
• Regarding others making you feel guilty: I don’t think there is such a thing. No one can “make” you feel guilty; as I said above, if you are feeling guilty, then its something (again, IMO) that you are doing to yourself…
