Some people are triggered to depression through guilt. event --> guilt --> depression and remorse

What do you feel guilty about but still seem to do or wish you hadn't done?

Hi Paul,

Interesting question. When I was younger (30 years ago), I had 10 year relationship with someone who had a partner. This doesn't provoke feelings of guilt but intense regret that I wasted my best years on an empty relationship due to the fact that I had such a low sense of self esteem. The feelings of regret used to turn to anger which then provoked a depressed response. However after 20 years of therapy, I have the tools to now stop the feelings going into the anger stage and progressing. Thank heavens for therapy.
