Guilt takes over

This is from a few months ago...

Our literature class has been reading Macbeth. Some things this deals with include guilt, murder, relationships, all that good stuff. It's awesome! I don't think I've been so excited about Shakespeare lol

All that aside, I think I'm going to lose it if I hear one more thing about guilt. It seems like I hear things about tremendous guilt only when that's what I'm feeling. Like, if I feel really bad about one thing, I start feeling bad about smaller things, too. Like about a week or so ago, I felt bad when I didn't hear someone ask for a pencil. I know, it's ridiculous. Guilt seems to be the only thing I think about and every single thing reminds me about it.

A lot of us sometimes feel like guilt is overpowering us. I've always been hard on myself, so this shouldn't be much of a surprise. I started realizing what guilt can do to a person back in sophomore year. That's when I wrote this:
The Veronicas, one of my favorite bands, once asked, "What do you do when it all falls apart?" Well, I've realized something today: Guilt is a bitch. We've all been there; feeling bad about ourselves to the point where we just want to throw a rock at our reflection. While it's true that we should take responsibility for our actions, we can't be so hard on ourselves. When something goes wrong, you have to make it right. Moping about how horrible you are all day isn't gonna help anything. Everyone says good things come to those who wait; not true, I think good things come to those who take action. So what do you do when it all falls apart? You fix it.

No matter how far you go down the wrong road, you can always turn back
