Thanks melissa, I'll give that a try. I tend to do it without even realising so the first step would be to recognise when I'm being hard on myself then I can work on trying to stop it.
Upthread you mentioned getting a mindfulness book, practicing mindfulness will help you recognize your emotions so that you can accept what you're feeling without judgment and let it go. Out thoughts aren't the truth just because we think them. Our minds play tricks on us all the time.
You might also look into acceptance and commitment therapy.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
