Hi Manz! I feel you. For me, a counselor really helped explain the mechanics of self-criticism to me. I hadn't understood before how, or why, self-criticism works as a cycle. It's still something I work on, as do many people. I hope in time you will feel better as you continue your recovery (and I think you will).
