Weekly Prompt #31: In what way does guilt have an effect on your life?

ASilentObserver February 26th

Welcome back, group! I hope you are all being easy on yourself this week.

Last week we discussed: What would you tell a friend who is experiencing self-doubt? Thank you to all who participated and shared their thoughts and questions for discussion. They were thought-provoking questions and thoughts. I hope you all did too. If you didn't share yours, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you


This week's prompt: In what way does guilt affect your life? What kind of situations or times are you more likely to experience guilt?


Guilt is a complex and powerful emotion that can have a profound impact on our lives. It can arise from a variety of situations and circumstances, often leaving us feeling remorseful or responsible for something we have done or failed to do. The way guilt manifests in our lives can vary greatly from person to person, and the triggers for experiencing guilt can be diverse and multifaceted.  Please know all thoughts and experiences are valid so no matter how small or big it seems, do share with us and we will discuss our thoughts on it together.

I feel shame and I will never let go of this shame. I will always carry this shame with me.

@littleApple7870 I hear you Apple, seems like guilt often comes up for you when you feel like you're a burden. How do you experience that feeling of being a burden?

@Rednomad I am sorry to hear red, you are carrying a heavy burden and dealing with difficult emotions. Overthinking and dwelling on the past can be challenging. How do you feel when you turn to drinking as a way to cope?
