Bipolar and endless guilt.

Been bipolar for so many years and the guilt is so bad.
The guilt of putting my husband and children through times of mayhem and swearing and shouting. The days of crying, despair and anxiety.
The worst part is the guilt of knowing that my ten year old daughter has got ocd problems an misophonia. On top of that she is now being checked for adolescent bipolar that I have no doubt given her.
Am i the only one with this overwhelming feeling of guilt?

No most definitely not, im sure we all feel some degree of guilt about something we have done or somebody we have upset or hurt....i know i certainly do

I feel guilty about things to do with the BP. I feel a lot of guilt and shame about things I have done when manic. I also feel bad about what I have put other ppl through such as friends and family. I am trying to challenge these thoughts tho and remind myself I was ill when I did these things tho I appreciate that is a tough thing to do and it is a tough thing to believe. You are def not alone

Oh boy, I sure can relate to this! In fact, my guilt is so excessive that it's a big reason why I end up in severe depressions. I feel guilt about things I did during both depression and mania. I haven't had "full-blown" mania...I guess you would call it hypomania...but I was NOT making good decisions, and it has been very hard to forgive myself. I won't even get into the gory details of my hypomanic times. As for depression, I am currently feeling a ton of guilt because I left my job after I was hospitalized. I was so depressed and unbelievably anxious, that I could not handle it. But of course now I am sitting here kicking myself...it was a good job with good pay. Anyway, the point is that you are not alone...I think many of us feel endless guilt. All we can do is try our best not to be so hard on ourselves...easier said than done, but there is no other choice!
