How do you get over recurring guilt?!
Question: Guilt is I made a mistake; shame is "I am a mistake." It sounds like you have more shame over a situation, and with that, you need to know we have all made mistakes, and there is no shame to endure. Love yourself and move on.
As to guilt, if you did something that was wrong and a mistake, apologize if that is possible, without causing more pain, and then focus on something positive. Again, we all make mistakes, and there isn't one person "who can not throw the first stone", so to speak. But if we all went around feeling guilty forever, we would have no life.
If you did hurt someone, write them a letter and then throw it away. You only want to get the feelings out, and then have a clear heart to live and love again.
If nothing else works, talk to a pastor, counselor, or someone you trust to unload these feelings. They are doing you no good bottled up inside.
Good luck.

Depends what it's about.
undo what you did or tell someone about it or stop doing it... it depends what you did that is making you feel guilty. justify it to yourself?
Without details I can't be too specific but I'd suggest you try to "make right" whatever it is you're feeling guilty about.
Feel guilty for a while then forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and feeling guilty is not going to change anything. Make yourself a promise you won't do whatever it was that made you feel guilty ever again. Then keep your promise. If God can forgive you, you can forgive yourself. So forget it, it is over and done with. You can't change what happened but you can make sure it doesn't happen again.
It depends what is causing the guilt. If it's because of something you do, or did, yourself, you can make amends with the person involved or pay back money if you stole money etc.
The thing I have found with recurring guilt is that it's often caused by being the victim of someone else's bad behaviour, eg. parental abuse etc. If you were treated badly by your parents, that can leave you with lifelong guilt and feelings of inadequacy that are totally unjustified, but they will be there nonetheless, through no fault of your own. If that is the type of guilt you suffer, get some therapy. Eventually, you will realise that it was the person who perpetrated the abuse that is the person who should be feeling guilty, not you.
If what you're talking about is recurring guilt that happens for no apparent reason, then don't focus on getting rid of it. It'll only get worse. Focus on feeling it and letting it pass.
don't know.
never felt guilty in my life.
I was raised to walk the straight and narrow.
but why beat yourself up over something in your past?
tomorrow is a new day.....go for it!
