Are people with a mental illness too hard on themselves in your analysis?

I’m way too hard on myself. I’m working on trying to lighten up.
I think if one says I’m doing my best in life, it makes one’s burden easier
we all fall short as human beings overall

I think almost everyone is hard on themselves, and feel people like us tend to focus on our faults and overlook our blessings.
It’s a big hurdle to overcome!

Many times I’m hyper focused on myself a bit too much but really it’s for valid reasons.
My OCD (anxiety) symptoms are chronic
The hardest thing on me is to not compare myself to others.

That’s a good point, @Dude1. Thank you for reminding me.

i think, for me at least… I’m very self critical and mean to my own self… but im trying to be a nicer person to myself…
i sometimes wonder if we with MI spend our energy of disciplining ourselves the wrong way. like instead of being able to harness ourselves to build our lives we are disabled and the energy for that direction of positive growth gets screwed up.
does this make sense?
