After graduating, it seems like the hardest thing in the world for me to drop is the constant nagging and guilty feeling that constantly tells me I ought to be doing something, or doing something different or better if i do happen to be doing something. And of course, said feeling usually results in me doing absolutely nothing in order to rebel

You're not alone in that nagging feeling. It plagues me like...a...plague?...nearly every day, and I haven't even accomplished anything so socially acceptable as graduating! It chips away it my self-worth at a slow but dangerous rate. Thing is, I know this feeling has been implanted in us by external parties that have a strong desire to keep it's people placid by immersing them in work. Instead of the goal having a fixed position, it becomes the etherial phantom the floats tauntingly before us like a carrot on a stick, edging us "forward," whatever that means. There are people in my life that insist I have accomplished a lot when I personally feel I have done virtually nothing to earn that credit. You, on the other hand, have done more than you needed to, and are now in a position to relax, if only for a few minutes. It almost sounds like you're giving yourself things to worry about that don't really need to be worried about, and this is draining the reserves. Remember when Superman flew up above the clouds after withstanding a kryptonite stabbing and the depths of a cold ocean, sitting in the sun to recharge before lifting a giant landmass into space? Enjoy the warm sunlight, man. Save your worry for the next seemingly impossible task.
