Help Guilt

[Afterman]

How do we overcome this? I know someone recently asked this and I answered something along the lines of "you never get over guilt" but I'm having the same problem now.

Admit your guilt your mistake. Apologize. Learn from your mistake. And forgive yourself.

I mean guilt from the act of ctb

That's exactly what I felt. Guilt brought me here,I don't know or care what you did but speaking to a counselor helped me. Serious guilt like this is a sign of depression and I felt I deserved it. When I spoke to my counselor it helped me to realise a few truths and act on them

Again, like I said to sinbad, I'm referring to the guilt of committing suicide and leaving my family and this world decades early. It's not easy for me. I'm glad you were able to get help with your guilt. I do indeed feel guilt around depressive emotions almost all the time.

I feel guilty too, Afterman. My father is 80 and his health is bad so I'm thinking the grief might kill him. He's depressive too.
And my friends... I hate to do that to them, but these days I've been thinking that precisely, you know you're reaching the point of no return when your longing to ctb starts to outweigh any guilt you might feel for others. If my friends or family could spend even a day in my head, feeling exactly what I feel, I think they might understand and accept that I want/need to go. If they love me, I can only hope they would never insist on inflicting upon me a life that crushes me every minute of every day.

Afterman, my apology.
I have no answer on how to overcome that guilt. This is the only reason why I am still around. My father, mother, and sister would be beyond devastated.

It is normal to feel guilt about hurting the ones you care about but ultimately you never chose to exist and should be allowed to leave if you want.
