Be kinder
Why not try saying sorry to yourself once a while? Say that you're sorry for beating yourself up, say sorry to yourself, say you're sorry that you felt bad and that you felt worse and that may have been because of what you automatically do when you're sad, you punish yourself, so try saying sorry once in a while. -
