> Yes, and all my therapists tell me not to be so hard on myself. Not that it's that easy. I can't wake up and not be profoundly disappointed and angry at myself for not meeting my own expectations,
My guess is that you are not expecting of yourself any more than a healthy person would expect of themselves. Be angry at your illness and not at yourself. You are not the culprit. You are not the irresponsible one. You are not the talentless one, You are not the lazy one. You are not the unaccomplished one. You are not your illness, despite it affecting every waking moment of your life.
