Existential guilt
Existential guilt results when the Anxiety indicators are ignored and no action is taken. The feeling of existential unease can develop into an overwhelming angst if the press toward
meaning is ignored. Passively denying the press to create meaning shuts down the person"s vitality, the natural innate quality to affirm the self and an inner drive to press forward. Guilt is the signal that change is needed and somehow the person needs to take charge of her life. To overcome the guilt, the person needs to determine those values that express personal meaning and to find ways to manage life accordingly.
