In reply to Why do I feel guilty?, posted by saw on January 14, 2005, at 1:30:26
i remember feeling out of sorts too when meds really helped me. it was like the meds were pushing me or creating this new personality that i could not recognize. I agree that if you are depressed for a long time, it becomes the norm. to be better feels different. so why the guilt? i felt that too, i remember. that one is tricky. maybe guilt is a feeling that you have not felt much before in the same way you are feeling it now and because you are better, you can now "feel" what was repressed? i remember feeling guilty just when i was getting better b/c i had a lot of guilt stored up and the depression masked it. to feel true feelings is a blessing, even if they are negative ones. does this make any sense?
