Wow can I identify! I've had to deal with the issue of "guilt " my whole life.
In my case I pretty much know why. No offense to any Catholics out there but
religion caused me to have deep feelings of guilt . All my life flogging myself over some things I may or may have not done ! It took a lot of therapy and " soul searching " , ( no pun intended ) , to finally pretty much get over it and stop feeling like I was such a bad person. Also , in all truthfulness other people always made me feel guilty to take the focus off of themselves. A good friend of mine one told me to make believe I'm carrying around a can of anti- guilt spray and every time I felt that guilt wave come over me spray it all over myself.
Sounds crazy but that always stood in my head. And I emptied many cans.
Stop beating yourself up.
