Depression Understood Forums

How do people forgive one's self? I am struggling with this. I know it is one thing that impacts my depression. What are your thoughts?

I find forgiving myself a lot harder than forgiving others. A lot of people find this hard as we are so much harder on ourselves than other people.

I think it depends what you are wanting to forgive yourself for as to how to do it.

I think a start is to give yourself praise for your achievements, no matter how small the achievement is then it will help change your pattern of thinking (about yourself)

I agree.
