Does anybody else get this?
Occasionaly, you might recall an event that now makes you cringe. You think to yourself 'Oh God, what an idiot I was then'. It might concern something like, when you got caught talking about somebody who was standing behind you. You're justified to cringe on recalling the occasion.
However, for the past few months, I've found myself recalling events from the past where nothing in particular happened. Eg. I remember walking through the airport on my way to Greece. (no big deal). But, I think of these things and then think 'God, what an idiot I was', sometimes followed by swear words of self criticism. It's becoming so bad now that when I'm on my own, the thoughts/abuse become spoken. I have tried telling myself to 'Nevermind - ignore it' - but it's not making any difference.
I don't think it's related to Tourettes - as I've researched it and the symptoms do not fit.
Why do I beat myself up without reason?
