I had a lot of moments in my life where I felt guilty for what I've done
Like making wrong choices that I later on regret
Saying something what I did not really mean and so on
Guilt is a very powerful emotion that really can bring you down
Guilt makes me sleepless so I have to do something about it
It works for me when I can talk about it apologizes to whom I done wrong
That's the way I deal with guilt
What about you?

I think you should confess it to a trusted friend and pray for forgiveness. Sometimes, I directly confess it to God and ask forgiveness. After that, there is no more condemnation. It's hard when you still have guilty feelings. Give it to God and ask apology and forgiveness.
God Bless

Hi elenakat, most of the time I also feel guilt,but not because I do something wrong in other people but because there a certain thing I want to give but I can't. Its about in my parents I want to help them financially- i give share for bill expenses but I think it's not enough..
But I do my best to help them in other way..
And whenever guilt comes, I alway pray in God to help me taking away those heavy feelings and fill it with hope and joy.
But if that guilt is from someone I hurt to. I surely ask for the forgiveness.

We can only get rid of guilt if we not only apologize to the person whom we have hurt but also forgive ourselves for ever hurting that person.
