Hi there,
A lot of my anxiety is due to having had bad thoughts about people I love. They (the thoughts) came during a period of high anxiety and upset me a lot and contributed to the anxiety spiralling. I have manged to stop the thoughts from coming again, which I am glad about, but I just cannot shake off the feelings of guilt from having had them. These feelings of guilt are very similar to the feelings of extreme anxiety.
I know the thoughts were not "real" and were a product of a troubled mind, but how the hell do I forgive myself so I can lead a relatively normal life without this. It is making my family upset also as I am so stressed, but I cannot tell them what is causing it. I know I am a good person, but this is making me feel so bad.
love frances
Can anyone help
