Bad memories, not of abuse

[cosmo79]

Does anyone else have those days/weeks/months when all your brain wants to do is remind you of every questionable thing you've ever done, using the most melodramatic, shaming language possible? "That time you were late to a meeting -- that really exposed you for the shameful !@#@% you really are. That's why you no longer work there, you dumb !@#$%." Etc....?

Yup. Sometimes my inner critic really goes into overdrive.

Hello Cosmo,

It's one of the Six Major Symptoms - Negative Self-Concept, so I imagine lots of us on here have that in varying degrees. I'm sorry you're going through such a bad bout atm.

Kizzie listed a number of resources for helping recover: http://cptsd.org/forum/index.php?topic=2592.0 which you might like to check out.
