Answers:
Sorry, Kenny and Dawn S - I don't think you understand human psychology very well. I'm not a psychologist but I do understand that sometimes people feel guilt irrationally, that is, when they haven't done anything wrong. In fact, some people who should feel guilty don't seem to, and vice versa.
I experienced strong feelings of guilt as an innocent young girl because of the values I learned from my religion.
AMZIE - Yes, guilt can affect your health. Please try to find professional help in dealing with this. You could start with your doctor. You can email me too if you would like some moral support!
