Porphyria patients find themselves often experiencing unwarranted guilt and
then withdrawal.
You feel guilty over the things you've said and done. Instead of communicating
this guilt, you withdraw from people so that you won't take your anger out on
them.
You also feel guilty because you aren't able to do your full share anymore.
Instead of venting your frustrations, you may start to withhold your emotions and
keep them bottled up inside.
Most often this is associated with bouts of depression.
