I get that very well–it’s one of the hardest parts of it to deal with, the intense guilt of feeling like an utter narcissist for being so self-involved. Hogwash of course, this is what you have and what demands to be dealt with one way or another. Don’t beat yourself up over that because you are not facing the problems themselves, just your reactions to them which is an awful circle to put yourself in.
It is what it is, just follow where your feelings take you and don’t judge. You would likely give another person the benefit of the doubt here (since you would understand) so why not yourself?

At least you have an excuse
