Is your guilt mostly irrational or on trivial matters which normally do not bother anyone? If so, perhaps anxiety is the cause of guilt; not the other way round.

Well, I have a past of some criminal activity and illicit drug use. All of which are years and years behind me. But when I go out into the public I still feel like I'm having to run or dodge everyone, like I still have something to hide. And it gets overwhelming. When I see a police officer my heart starts racing, even though I've done nothing and paid for all my crimes. This is my biggest issue when being in the public. I start to feel like I used to feel. Like I have to hide from people.
