> O.K., I'll take the obvious diagnosis: depression with emotional sensitivity. Some of it sounds like one of the personality disorders, but since you seem to blame yourself and not constantly think it is the Nasty Old World Out to Get You, that seems unlikely to me. But I'll be bet you get some well-thought out and more educated answers.
It depends of course whether you buy into the ntellectually simplistic 'blame yourself= depression don't blame yourself= PD' way of thinking.
I can blame myself for sometimes/often not handling things as well as i should whilst being
all too aware of the negative experiences that impacted on my mental health and ability to function.Unfortunately psychiatrists and therapists often fail to see the difference between invalidating/trivialising the very real and negative experiences of their clients/service users and acknowledging that whilst X happened one may need help with the reaction to the reality that is X.
