worrier

I really need some help with overcoming the urges I feel to confess everything I feel guilty about. When I'm living at home, it's to my mum and when I'm away at university it's to my boyfriend. I just don't feel comfortable keeping anything to myself that I regret, and once I confess it it's like the guilt just goes away because someone else knows.

Has anyone managed to overcome feelings like this because I just can't stand to feel like this anymore
