I recently got a degree, but due to COVID all of my last remaining classes were online.

For the final exams, I used the internet to help me get the answers on the test. The teachers even said it's okay to do this, they setup the questions to be harder. All the people in the classes that I knew were using the internet during the finals. I assume everyone in the class was doing this.

But for some reason I have such guilt anxiety, I feel like I failed myself, I wasted all of this money on my degree and I had to use cheating methods to obtain it. I can't get this guilt feeling out of my head. I had an above average GPA before covid online classes ever started, but now I can't stop feeling like I was the dumbest student in the class. 

I feel like I lied to my parents, friends.

I get this feeling often, even with other things that I'm good at, not just school related. I'm not good at taking compliments, because in my mind I'm very stupid.

Does anybody else experience this? Or know how to overcome it?
