Why You’re Not to Blame for Your Condition
"You’re not responsible for what happened to you – but for the path you choose now."
Guilt – Your Unnecessary Companion
Guilt often appears out of nowhere: “I should have done more,” “It’s my fault I burned out.”
But these thoughts aren’t the truth. And above all: it’s not your fault.
Why You’re Not to Blame
Our brain is wired to search for explanations – even when they’re misguided.
Guilt often simply signals: something was extremely stressful – and your mind is trying to make sense of it. Living in a pressure-driven society and constant stress (e.g. from burnout, crisis fatigue, overwhelm) often leads you to take the blame – even though your condition was objectively caused by external factors.
Why Guilt Is So Sticky
Your mind turns it into a guilt complex:
You (often unconsciously) take on responsibility – which intensifies shame and self-criticism.
That, in turn, strengthens negative feelings like anxiety or depression – and blocks your recovery.
Common Questions:
Why do I feel guilty when I’m burned out?
Because you think, “I could’ve prevented this.”
But guilt isn’t a solution – it’s an obstacle to healing.
How do I stop blaming myself?
Start by noticing your guilt, gently questioning it, and replacing it with realistic thoughts.
Is it my fault that I feel this way?
No. Your condition is the result of overwhelming situations – your body simply sent a signal.

Your body stopped in time. Now is the moment to say thank you – and truly take care of yourself.
