Thanks for the reminder!

Yea - "hatred" is basically anger.

So hating yourself is anger at yourself.
Depression though involves a hatred for self that just lags on n on and stays "stuffed inside" you .. and doesn't have an easy time getting out.

Sometimes that hatred of self has a root cause, sometimes not .. but its always there.

That's how its anger toward inward.

This particular thing described in this post I see a bit diff .. bc it remains an outward anger - that you try to control by suppressing parts (but not all) of it .. and then never revisit it either bc you never have opportunity or just dont want to .. does that make sense?
