Something new happened to me during this last big bout of depression I am trying to pull out of. I have discovered I have a lot of anger towards myself. I don't physically self-harm but I think I punish myself a lot for being such a life loser.

This situation I am describing is something new and I think it might have to do with self-confidence and self-esteem. I guess the long depression eroded both.

Just because I know I have a lot of self-anger doesn't stop it. It feels justifed.

I could see if I don't tackle the self-confidence, self-esteem issue it could lead to a more aggressive personality. I have noticed that people with low self-esteem seem to be rather aggressive if you scratch the surface.

I am sorry if I sound confused. I have just recently discovered all these negative things. I am trying to get in to see a counselor because I think maybe I could get some help with dealing with these things. Are they common for others suffering from or coming out of depression?
