You have a choice. Either step forward and try to resolve things or spiral downwards, often taking along those who you are closest to. Ultimately, this will often lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. Or, change to positive behaviour and create your life how you want it to be.

Guilt. That's the keyword. You've learned to feel guilty about everything. You've always been told that you are “bad” from the start. If you've ever done something that a person with power over you at that time didn't like, you were branded “bad and unmanageable”. Whatever you did was always wrong from that power base perspective. You have been taught to feel shame for being born less than perfect.
