I feel I can take on the world, any project, any problem - I WILL get to the bottom of it. But this confidence becomes aggression pretty quickly, which leads to a horrible cycle of me feeling bad about my actions and pretty soon I land up in depression again.

Right now I am INCREDIBLY snappy! And am beginning to hate myself
Hey

Yes I can relate but like the others I aint no doc lol

I too get aggresive ... its like, it all gets too much, just cant keep up, get irritable and then angry with ppl because they seem so slow and I cant actually do all the things I thought I could... SCRAMBLED EGGS come to mind....

Yes I too at times hate myself... I mean detest myself to the point my own voice makes me feel sick..... at times like that.... try to make a list of your good points and challenge your thinking... why do you hate yourself? Ok, so if you have a list of why you hate yourself... challenge those thoughts.... go easy on yourself as you would a friend.. be kind to yourself... OH yes I know... how easy it is for me to write this right now... I know its BLOODY HARD WORK hating yourself... but just try and remind yourself of the good in you... because there is good in you... you just cant see it right now.... poke your head out of the mist... reach inside and hug yourself... YOU ARE WORTHY of love, deserve love.... love yourself... challenge that hate.... challenge your thoughts, try to think in alternative ways.. even if you dont believe them... just ask yourself the question...

Ok I am waffling... LOL am a bit blaaaah I know but I hope you can make some sense from my wafffffle
