I had a counselor tell me that the greatest emotion to control people with is guilt (I was getting out of an abusive relationship). I eventully learned to let my internal and any external guilt go. It didn’t serve me any purpose.
Guilt will never change a situation, I feel guilty everyday for my husband taking his own life, but feeling guilty doesn’t bring him back. It’s a useless emotion.

Ahhh! I’ve never put guilt as a trigger together until now. But, wow so true!
This has hit home for me in so many ways 😪 I couldn’t have said it better myself. To anyone else feeling tge same way, I send you love and light 💛
Same. And guilt for telling people how I actually feel. Especially family.
Why do we beat ourselves up so bad🤦♀️ I do all of those.
It gives me comfort to know I’m not the only one. Thanks for this.
