Is it normal that i feel guilty at the drop of a hat?

It doesn't take much to get me feeling guilty-I have even told a few loved ones that if it were possible to show physical signs of beating myself up that I'd probably have permanent brain damage. The latest incident of feeling guilty occurred today at my mom's house when I didn't get a chance to give ornaments I made to two of my nieces when I was able to give some to the others. (my husband was eager to get going home) I felt bad about that so I emailed the parents of the two nieces that I would be mailing ornaments to them on Monday, which I have every intention of doing. Having that plan still hasn't made me feel better. is it normal to feel so guilty so easily?

    An observation I have made thus far...a majority of people say that my guilt is not normal, yet a majority of the people who have commented currently have the same problem or have dealt with it in the past. Apparently it's not that abnormal?

    I used to be like this too. Then, somehow, I got over it. If I remembered how I did this, I would tell you.

    Yes, I feel guilty all the time, too. It's always over the littlest things.

    I know sometimes I should feel guilty, but I just don't feel I owe anyone anything and if I did forget something or did something uncalled for, as long as I have remedied it the best I can, my conscience is quite free.

    I feel guilty over a lot of little things too. For some reason the guilt always gets really intense a couple of days before I start my period.
