I grew up guilt inflicted, and am thrilled be in a healthy place of knowing what I do and do not own, regardless of what anyone else attempts to place on me.

This is a hard one...If I wasn't feeling guilty, what would I be feeling? I get what she is saying, that guilt isn't an emotion, but I'm not sure how to label what the emotions really are without using the guilt word Interestingly, I never feel guilty about eating off plan, I can always identify the real feelings when that happens. But there are plenty of other situations where I feel guilty...I will think about this one and try and re-identify that feeling for what it really is.

Being in co-victim mode, guardian, payee, and now on ppo next of friend I am so stressed and feel a lot of guilt. Police and prosecutor both questioning my actions, decisions and constantly having to defend myself. Dealing with a lot of guilt
