After having a night to think it over I've come to the conclusion that I have a tendency to hold onto guilt and shame more than I should. It just feels like a bad habit at this point. So the cycle goes, experience anxiety-> feel guilt and shame for experiencing that-> generate more anxiety-> the cycle continues. I can't pinpoint a single reason for feeling the need to hold onto guilt and shame so I'm guessing whatever it is is outside my conscious awareness. But I'll have to start breaking the cycle by catching myself whenever I start feeling that guilt or shame and stop it.
