Hi Adrift,
I tend to have a lot of guilty and self-critical thoughts when I'm depressed. Of course, my depression manifests with a healthy side-order of Anxiety, so ...?And I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time recognizing how unique and wonderful you are. You are very special, IMO, because you're the only one that gets special treatment in Babblechat. Apparently you are SO cool that Dr. Bob's server cannot manage to keep you in the chat room for more than a few minutes at a time. I think this is a badge of pride- you are the Babbler that Chat has never tamed!
Anyways-- talk therapy can help you say these obsessive/exaggerated/illusional thoughts out loud- to get to the root of it- or at least the point where the branch attaches to the trunk of the tree.
Pdockery can help too. I have a lovely little tendency to worry and get freaked out about stuff that I did (or even stuff that I was *worried* I *might* do!) seroquel is good for those unwanted intrusion-type thoughts. SSRI for many other OCD and depressive/anxiety symptoms.
Give it a try?
