I feel guilty a lot and dom't know why. What do you say? shooould i feel this way what causes it?

have never posted on the forum but since i used to feel guilty a lot and have overcome it ,mostly, i thought i would share what i have done that has helped me. I have just finished the program which has helped me a lot I am sure . Perhaps it has had something to do with me learning to accept myself the way I am and genuinely learning to like myself eventhough I am not perfect. I have accepted myself as a human being who has made lots of mistakes but realize that I always did the best I could with what I knew at the time and have learned to love myself and learned to FORGIVE MYSELF for the mistakes I have made. I believe God forgives me and I believe He wants me to forgive myself and I do. It is very freeing. It takes me out of the past and allows me to live in the present moment. The wonderful present moment. Also, whenever I do or say something that I think afterwards was not the right thing to say or do I admit it and apologize as soon as I can. I hope there is something in this that may help you. God Bless

i am usually completely consumed with guilt. ive done lost of crummy things in my life i think. but i sure do feel guilty for them.
ive been working hard at trying to forgive myself and thinking, i am only human, humans make mistakes. i always ask myself what did i learn from what i did wrong and somehow that makes the guilty feelings a little less because at least i know i learned, and it wont ever happen again. mistakes are how we learn and grow as people. we are our own worst critics and we are harder on ourselves than anyone else. if others can forgive us, why cant we forgive ourselves? seems silly doesnt it?
