When I'm stuck on a problem for way too long, I start typing it out in Stack Overflow. Usually by the time I'm done describing it, I've already solved it.

I've lost count the amount of times I've done that. Also, I'm probably the top of the pops in answer replies to my own questions.

I also feel guilty when I do this, but at least the answer helps others who might have the same question.

I think stackoverflow encourages[1] this, so no need to feel guilty.
