Some days, even multiple times a day, I feel a sudden wave of guilt and embarrassment like I've done something wrong and people are mad at me and I should be ashamed, but there's no concrete logical explanation for the feeling. I'm surfing the internet going through a bunch of different fleeting thoughts of no real importance, and then I get struck with it, like a baseball bat of guilt that keeps hitting me on the back of the head by an angry teacher. I'm always paranoid that I've made a big social mistake that people won't forgive me for. I have to rack my brain hard to draw up any thoughts that may have caused this feeling.

Oh jeez, I couldn't have said it better myself. "Like a baseball bat of guilt that keeps hitting me on the back the head by an angry teacher." These waves of random guilt are...horrendous.

***raises hand****
Random assualts of guilt is one of my most painful symptoms. It comes out of nowhere. It feels like someone kicked me in the gut.

Yes. You worded it perfectly. I can never find any real reason, only the feelings I have of never being good enough... like I haven't met the expectations others have of me...

Raised hand here as well. I didn't realize until lately that I've gotten in the habit of speaking aloud to this feeling....STOP...Don't go there. Even out in public. Embarrassing but it does usually work. Doesn't stop it from coming back though. If I didn't already have so many issues to discuss I'd bring this up in therapy Wednes. Maybe everything is connected in one tangled ball of....stuff.

Wow! I didn't realize this is so common. The kicker is that my mind tricks me into questioning whether I should really take it seriously or not. I guess it would help to write things out. Today it was probably caused by me not wanting to go to a weekly meetup tonight, because I just don't have the energy for it.

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.
