Hi Candy. I understand the feeling. It's as if every once in a while the depression does a number on our self esteem and self confidence. It happened to me recently and I can't tell the story here.

You said you were working on getting angry at those who cause the hurt rather than at yourself and I think that's helpful for a while. Even after I've worked thru my anger at the other person, I end up with the bad feelings about myself.

My husband told me about a t-shirt he saw yesterday that he thought was funny. The more I think about it the madder I get at the manufacturer and men who think like this. It said, "I'd be nicer to you if you weren't so stupid". I'm wondering if we believe a little of that attitude and even though we direct our anger at the other person, we still get these negative feelings about ourselves.

I'm sorry you're having a bad spell and hope it passes quickly. ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
