    (My memory is blurry, please cut me some slack)
    Hi, this story hurts to tell so please bare with me.

    <mod snip>


    It used to come back to me every now and then for a few seconds but nothing big. Then around November of 2013 I started getting serious guilt. I was quiet, didn't talk to much people, wasn't my general humorous self and was sick to my stomach for most of the time. I even went onto Childline for advice who helped me. After 2 weeks it went away to my relief.

    Starting around October of 2014 these doses of guilt kept coming back but for shorter periods of time, again I would suffer from the same problems as previously mentioned like being quiet and feeling bad. in the doses that have started since November I've began taking stomach problem pills to try and ease the pain which worked before but in my current bout with this guilt it won't work. I'm dying with guilt and slight depression

    <mod snip>

    Please give me some advice, even if I do shrug off this bout with guilt and depression I don't want to have to go through it again and again. All replies appreciated.

    See a counselling service immediately before any talks with anyone...to protect all involved.

    Hi OP,

    I can see from your post that this is uncomfortable for you to talk about and is causing you a lot of distress, so well done on contacting Childline in the past, and reaching out now and trying to seek out further help - they are very positive steps to take. Considering the nature of your issue, we aren't going to leave this thread open to general advice, because as a problem that is beyond the scope of most people here, advice given, however well intentioned, could inadvertently cause more damage than good.

    Our forum charter contains a list of Useful Links & Services, in particular there are online and phoneline facilities specifically geared towards young adults who are suffering from depression in general, and they may be able to provide you with some immediate advice over the phone. OR if you have found that Childlike have been helpful to you in the past, by all means contact them again.

    Regarding the root cause of your guilt and depression - as mentioned above, the only real advice that anybody can give you here is to seek out professional help in the form of counselling - they will be far better equipped to help you with this than anybody here in this forum. They will also be equipped to advice you on how to deal with your family regarding this. The Psychology forum has an excellent sticky thread on How to find a Counsellor/Therapist/Psychologist in your area, which can be found here.

    Regards,
    Mike
