All throughout history the issue of women and guilt has been a troubling and ignored vital matter. As women in secrecy have battled it and endured all its agony, very little has been done to help these women. The brutality of guilt and blame can drive women to go insane. Its extreme mental and emotional suffering is overbearing. Its reality still exists and continues to cringe women who are falling prey to its debilitating affects. As most of these women appear normal they are holding this severe and most painful illness deep within themselves. They hide it so well, that some become entangled, intertwined in its web. With time they become dysfunctional in society never knowing their distance or how they reached the stage they are in. Others realize that it is indeed a significant problem yet they fear seeking psychological solutions that may help them live a better life. As these women continue to live in denial, they will never know the true essence of self-freedom, where they can enjoy life with all it has to offer. As the years pass, these women drown in their overload of guilt that is cutting through their smiles, beating them up with deeply rooted pressure; forcing them to lose their balance and focus. The accumulation of guilt and self-blame destroys women's spirit, leading them into a variety of unnecessary, uncomfortable, and unhealthy hardships. In many cases women not only lose their self-confidence but they lose sleep and they begin to feel the anxiety and are fatigued with time. It becomes more evident in the home, in the workplace, and even the different day-to-day relationships. Later they become unwilling to socialize or take part in any activities which causes huge measures of uncertainty, eating disorders as well as inner torture of shifting personality that exhausts them.
As experts have indicated, guilt and self-blame often become an abusive factor of destruction to all women who are locked in their darkness. As women fall apart due to this dilemma of madness, their lives are intense and consumed with frustrations. As they struggle through the viciousness of this cycle, they withdraw into issues of complexities that tear away at their souls, hearts, and minds. When women allow guilt and self-blame to live through them they journey into an excruciating reality of aches. As women silently are trapped in the shattering, nagging voice of disempowerment they are left drenched from their bleeding hearts. Their feelings of unworthiness sing miserable melodies in their ears. Society lacks any mercy for these women and holds no promises of a cure for any woman who is living in this merciless sorrow. Women must learn to let go of guilt and self blame in order to survive and not to be held back from reaching their highest potential of accomplishing their dreams and goals.
Depression in women is sometimes caused by the guilt and blame they place on themselves for everything and anything that goes wrong in their lives and the lives of the one they love. As women battle in despair they find themselves lost not realizing that the depression of guilt is creeping up on them in a subtle anguishing way stealing the value of every precious moment in their life; setting in their system negative ways of thinking.
It is blessings when women are able to catch this relentless disease in its early stage and find ways to remedy it. It is of absolute danger when it's neglected and accepted as a way of life. In order for women to actually feel at ease, they need to take pride in knowing that they have done all they could to accomplish their intended action or goal. They need to convince themselves that "nothing else could be done" and believe it in their hearts. They need to allow themselves to have a positive self-image and positive attitude to grasp their being and to soar into the highest fulfillments in life. They need to respect and honor who they are and know that they are worthy, great, inspirational women who nurture society and the world with growth, courage, leadership, and unwavering commitment.
