Living with Shame/Guilt
Everyday of my life I live with shame and guilt. It weighs so heavily on me that I have systematically pushed every person in my life away. I am completely alone now. I get up, put on a fake smile, go to work, suffer through the day pretending to be normal and well adjusted, then go home to my solitude, depression, sadness, shame and guilt and sit there, alone wondering how I fix it all, or how I live with it. There are days its so heavy I just can't do it so I call in sick and lay in the bed, in the dark all day. This has been going on for over 10 years now. I just wonder if there are others out there like me, living like this, and if so how do you do it? Its getting so hard for me.
Hey there,
I'm not a person who went through the same thing as you did but if you want to talk about it then i'm here for you. I will try to help you the best way i can but it might help already if you have the feeling that someone is wiling to listento you.
I wish you all the best,
Angel :)
I'm so sorry to hear you're having such tough time right now. While I can't relate to living with constant shame or guilt, I can imagine how hard it must be. This might be an obvious question, but have you tried to work with whatever you feel ashamed and guilty about? Have you tried to deal with whatever it is? Because, in my opinion, that's crucial for no longer being consumed by those emotions.
Thank you for your encouraging words, I'm just hoping to find someone else whos living with this sort of thing to share experiences with.
