Oh yes. Always. My therapist has tried to get me to "give myself credit" for the good things I do - such as getting work done, or doing chores at home. However, when I try to do that I always know that I'm lying to myself, which just adds to the self-hatred.

The worst thing about it, I think, is that it turns me into an unlikable person; I even do things to drive away those few really close friends I have, out of my ingrained belief that they only like me because they don't really know me that well.

It's stupid, I know. Which means I'm stupid. Which means I deserve to hate myself. Recursion, anyone?
