Someone told me pathological guilt is part of symptoms

I have excessive guilt that persisted for over 6 years now. Someone pointed out that it could be part of symptoms of sz/sza.

Is this true?

I’ve never heard of excessive guilt being a symptom of sz/sza.

I don’t have excessive guilt. It doesn’t sound right to me, no.

I suffer from guilt but that’s because I was an ass- hole to certain people.

I don’t think it’s part of this illness though.

I know I’m projecting but maybe you developed a conscience?

I also developed a conscious and also because of the constant fight between my mother and I.

there can be delusional guilt

I experience a lot of guilt from time to time. I kind of loosely associate it with paranoia. I’m constantly worried about how others perceive me and then feel guilty for some of the potentially offensive things I’ve said (I try to remain aware of people’s sensitivities but I feel that some people these days are too easily insulted, they don’t see my intention and think everyone’s got a hidden agenda to feel superior in some way). I feel guilty when I disappoint people. I also feel guilty for my actions related to delusional thinking and manic behavior. With that said, I am overly critical of myself and unforgiving of my problems related to sza. I’m just trying to hold myself accountable for my mistakes in an attempt to not repeat them. I just want so badly to function normally. As a people pleasing, overthinking, obsessive person this makes life a bit tough. Cognitive impairments, disorganized thinking, and bad social skills plague me. I feel guilty about something new every day.

I have not heard of this before to be honest.

Ive not noticed it as part of sz at all. I had the same if not worse levels of guilt before sz. And it was primarily due to environment

Ive never heard of that. Sounds more like a depression symptom. I cant think of anything i feel guilty for.

Guilt is not sz, its a common depression symptom.

I agree with @Aziz. That’s what I was going to say.
