Guilt

[axell1993]

I'm sure this has already been asked but I need to type it out just to get it out of my head. Even with as much pain as I'm in and peace in yearning for, I can't shake the guilt of how everyone will feel once I cross the bridge. Family & friends… how do you shove that aside or is it just not possible?

For me, I was able to shove it aside... I realized I did not love my family or friends, I started speaking to them less and less, cutting my friends off entirely, and speaking to my family only as much as I have to since I am dependent on them.

I speculate that these feelings of attachment are a disguised form of survival instinct.

Follow your heart, I hope you find peace.

Guilt is a natural part of the process. You truly can't get rid of it, no matter how hard you try. You could try disassociation, which often works for me in a moment. Anyway mate, welcome to the forum! I'm deeply sorry about whatever life has gone to you to bring you here, but you'll find a community of the nicest, most compassionate people here. I hope you find your peace somehow. Love and peace, mate
