How can you feel guilty for something that you didn’t do? You just exist. It’s a fact, not something that you had any control over. If you really think your words through, I think you will realize that not everybody would have an easier life without you. This is not logic. This is the cruel inner voice. I don’t think you should listen to this voice.

That sounds like depression more than anything else--You don't have to feel guilty for existing; that's not right or correct. Please don't do that to yourself. It is probably time to bring that up to a therapist.

I do too sometimes to be honest. You are not alone.
What happened? This doesn't sound like you. Thought things were better? You offer so much life and joy. You are very creative, and sensitive. It's difficult for sensitive people. Not a easy path.
