I am a very sensitive person. So when I do something wrong, I mull over it for a long time. Especially when I do something stupid in the presence of other people.

Last week at work, I got notified that I had to install a new Microsoft Windows program - immediately! I had to do it immediately because I had been notified for months to do it. What made me put something off for so long like I did? It's normally in my nature to do what I have to do right away. I had difficulty installing it, so I asked the IT guy for assistance. He was nice to me, but had said to me, "you were notified to do this months ago!" Talk about feeling small and stupid!

I guess with having depression, we tend to feel shame a lot more and ruminate. I think that there are articles on Psyche Central about ruminating. I'm very guilty of that.
