I beat myself up over EVERYTHING!!!??


Question: no...not literally beating myself..but i just don't let things go, and i drag things on for weeks.
if i say something that i don't think was cool in the moment, or if i make one mistake, i keep that thought in my head for DAYS and make myself feel even worse. in my eyes, everything i say and do is wrong. how can i stop this??
i think i'm giving myself low self esteem xD

example: i tried to give my friend the HINT that my birthday is on thursday. and i already feel bad about that..because i probably seemed like i have the biggest ego, and like i just wanted them to say something. is that true? D=
Answers: i have those feelings as well wishing i hadnt said something or wondering if i sounded pompous and over bearing or what people think of me. I try to say to myself that i am who i am but that doesnt always work. Try to think of your self as unperfect and that everyone makes mistakes. the only true mistake is not learning from them
You may have a mild case of obsessive compulsive disorder. There are treatments for it. Please talk to your Dr. You will feel so much better.
Alot of people do that. I tend to over reflect on things too. I just stop and ask myself, Does this really matter? Will I worry about this on my deathbed? If the anser is no, I try to let it go and worry about somwthing else :)

You seem to stay in the problem rather than the solution
Your what is called a THINKER, you think too much about everything, need to just go with the flow, who really cares, life is so short, live it your way and if thinking too much doesn't make you sick, then don't worry be happy, if it does then you definately need a change, good luck!
maybe its true and maybe it isnt, but you need to find a group to talk with about your problems, when you hear other peoples problems you might find out your life isnt so bad. your school or church might have group therapy sessions like this. you have to learn to let things go, people seem to think they are the center of the world and that what they say or do affects everyone, and chances are no one even noticed.
