Guilt is a heavy load to carry for the mentally healthy. When you have a mental illness, that loads gets even heavier. Mental illness causes us to do things outside of our true character and nature. Sometimes, those things are terrible destructive, painful, or traumatic. Still, to carry on through life, we need to find a way to come to terms with that. In this episode, I share how I approach forgiving myself for decisions my mental illness makes for me, making mistakes, and choosing to do the wrong thing.

I am not a mental health professional. I do not have any qualifications or certifications of any kind. I hope that by sharing my experiences, more mentally ill people will be empowered to step into the offices of clinicians to do the hard work that leads to mental wellness, peace, and happiness. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, as all I am is a mental patient with a microphone.
