For years psych theory said depression was "anger turned inward". It's been a while since my days in school so I doubt they're still saying this, but given how I feel and how many others have posted, I think there's some truth to it. Much of my depression self talk is tied up in heavy duty self criticism and self anger. Acceptance is an issue for a lot of us I think.
I'm in the process of listening to Radical Self Acceptance--a series of dvds. Might be something of use in them. Heaven knows I could use a little self acceptance. If anyone has any other tips/ideas to offer on this, please pass them along. Help would be greatly appreciated
