I have a very bad habit of beating myself up over things I've done wrong. I have a hard time forgiving myself. Inside I am calling myself names, kicking myself in the *** wondering how I could be so stupid. My torture sometimes involves self harm as well. I constantly play over scenarios in my head where I screwed up, for no reason other than to keep torturing myself. Even my psychiatrist and therapist tell me I'm way too hard on myself. I know they are right but how do I change a behavior that I've been doing all my life? Why can't I just learn from my mistakes, let it go and move on? Its frustrating that I can't stop, I don't even know how. How do I stop being so mean to myself?

Dear Stainedglassheart,

You start with small changes and if you like join Friends of Angels.
It is a new group. Visit my page and click on the group and join.
You will know YOU are not alone.
And many people feel this way, this comes from not being taught how to be good to yourself but we can always learn.
Hugs, Happiedasiy
