God I feel really guilty atm, about various things.
I feel bad that I cant handle working full time atm.
I feel bad that I didn't go to work today (even though I was up all night having panic attacks).
I feel bad that I dont clean the flat as much as I should.
I feel bad that I'm tired all the time.
I feel bad that I haven't lost as much weight as I wanted.
I have my first therapy session tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it. But you guys (or atleast my friends here) have been like a wonderful therapy and I always like to share things with you guys (though, like last night, sometimes I feel ignored buy others) and to ask your advice.
I'm rambling :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
All I can say is you are who you are and you have bugger all to feel guilty about. You're talking this through, trying to get it out of whatever slump you're in and you got something to look forward too. We all feel like there's more we could be doing but if you think like that nothing is ever gonna be enough and you'll just beat yourself back into the ground. And as for being ignored, you said you have friends on here, you know I'm sure they don't and if you're at a real loss feel free to msg me too x
Hugs girl, and good luck in therapy tomorrow.
I dont like it :(
Hope things go great with the therapy and don't worry about the petty things (listen who's talking here). A hundred years from now no one will give a rats arse if your flat was clean but someone may benefit because you took the time to care. XXOO, Georgia
Practically speaking, you sound like you need a few hugs and kind words.
Why not love and care for yourself into a better place. Belittling yourself and /or others doesn't fix anything. It only feeds more of the same.
You are special and you matter.
You must learn to let go of the guilt and say "okay, here I am, what now?" The past is over. You can only change the present. I know it's hard to do. I'm working at it myself. Sometimes my guilt overwhelms me too, but I beat it back. I can't change my past mistakes. I can only do my best now.
You also are absolutely right that guilt is a self-esteem issue. That's what it's all about. Thinking less of ourselves in one or more ways - devaluing the perfect gift from the universe that we truly are!
Talk therapy was one of the best ways I found to deal with my guilt. And therapy plus a good mood stabilizer (Trileptal) has done wonders for my depression! I never knew what it felt like to not carry depresion or anxiety with me 24/7 - I can't remember EVER not feeling depressed or anxious and guilty.
My point in all of this is, I really do understand a little bit about how you feel, and I think you are doing alot of things to help yourself
Stay connected here. Stay with therapy. Think about seeing a pdoc for mood stabilizing meds. Accept the fact that you have a neurological issue which creates anxiety and alot of guilt because of esteem issues. and accept that it takes a long time sometimes to climb up out of that black hole you sometimes find yours elf in. (Or feel like you always live is - as was my case)
Oh, and did I say stay connected here?? :)
Sending healing energy and White Light. let us know how your first appt goes?
Namaste,
Trish
I'll keep you all up to date with how my therapy is going :)
