All the problems I have had the last 5 years originated with severe depression and seeking treatment. I have just recently realized that I am blaming myself for getting sick and seeking treatment. I feel like the hospital ruined my life. My T has been trying to convince me that I had no other options. She did say though that I went back to work too soon each time which didn’t help matters. So how do I forgive myself and stop blaming myself for my illness? Logically I know I can’t control that I get depressed. I mean there are things I can do to help lessen the effect it has on me but I have an illness and need to accept that. I need to accept myself. It is proving harder than you would think. Any words of wisdom to help me get unstuck and able to move forward and not beat myself up so much?
