Hi

Guilt is a normal response when we have some wrong decisions. But it is not a disease, rather our brains way of telling us what we did wrong.

You’ve asked two good questions, so let me take the “why” first, because understanding it often eases some of the distress. Guilt is meant to be useful. It’s the mind’s signal that something matters to us and may need repair. Regret, though, often uses hindsight: we judge a past decision with information we didn’t have at the time it was made. That’s why it can feel so harsh. Night hits harder for a few reasons. During the day, work and people keep the mind busy. At night, the distractions stop, you’re tired, and your ability to manage emotions is lower. So the mind replays the same thoughts again and again; this is called rumination. Crying or shouting to yourself is your body trying to release that built-up pressure. It’s understandable, and it also tells you the feelings need a better outlet.

It is likely depressive disorder. Do consult a psychiatrist for therapy and if needed a course of antidepressants for recovery. Good luck

Pls reach out for therapy sessions

Guilt can sometimes be useful because it helps us recognise that something we did was not in line with our values. But when the mind repeatedly replays the same decision without reaching any solution, guilt can turn into anxiety, disturbed sleep, crying spells and emotional exhaustion.

It is normal to feel like that and have chaos in mind . To solve this issue need further history and then counselling session can be planned.

Hello, you made a decision at a certain situation in a certain mindset. Since you are regretting I believe the consequences have been bad. Since you cannot undo what you already did, the best way forward is to think of ways to eliminate or reduce the impact. Your overthinking and regret should not reduce your ability to make a well analysed plan to mitigate the bad effects of your decision

Hi. Will need further history regarding the same to advise appropriately. Consult online for treatment

Hi Guilt and regret are signs that your values are speaking to you, so you're not broken for feeling this. They tend to get louder at night because the day's distractions fall away and your mind finally gets room to replay unfinished business. Crying is a release, not a weakness. To ease it, try a short "worry-and-wrap-up" ritual an hour before bed: write down the decision that's weighing on you, one thing you'd do differently, and one thing you can still do about it. Then close the notebook. Slow breathing (in for 4, out for 6 to 8) and keeping screens away in that last hour can also soften the night-time surge. Why it hits so hard is where it gets interesting. Guilt can be about what you did, or it can be about who you believe you are because of it, and those two need very different kinds of healing. There may also be an older pattern behind why this particular decision has such a grip on you. A therapy session can help you sort that out and finally let your nights rest. If the shouting or crying ever begins to feel unmanageable, or you have thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out for support right away. Call or WhatsApp: nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

For you to overcome these feelings and anxiety first we need to understand the situation and context in which you took certain decisions. If some conflict is there in our mind it can result into anxiety symptoms.  However there is no need to worry. You can consult a psychiatrist.

Carrying heavy guilt and regret that strikes worst at night can feel incredibly isolating. This agonising loop of nighttime anxiety and crying closely resembles severe rumination, acute distress or situational depression.

Hi mam, I am able to empathise with the emotions you are going through. It is normal for us to regret many decisions in life. But we should be able to accept it and overcome so that we can move forward. Why do we feel regret : When the outcome of our decisions does not match our expectations, our mind creates alternate versions of reality . We start thinking what if i had chosen something else and my life would have been different. Why do we feel guilt: When we put everything as our mistake. I should have done better. I am the reason for my situation etc, this is called self shame and later goes into a loop of catastrophic thinking Going in this direction has a very high chance of putting you through a depressive disorder. Please book a consult for therapy so that we are able to help you with the thoughts and symptoms. There are certain techniques and treatments available.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your concern here. It is natural to feel guilt and regret as you would feel comfortable and sure of few decisions. The more you look at it as learnings from your life experiences the better you see opportunities to improve your approach ahead. Your mind keeps reestablishing your moral compass at life's various stages which is progressive. Psychotherapy sessions can help you release your emotions, manage anxiety and heal progressively to start afresh with a balanced state of mind. You can consult for further professional guidance. I wish you holistic wellness. Happy Healthy Living!
