I COMPLETELY understand what you are saying...I do the SAME thing ALL THE TIME. I think this is my therapist's favorite subject matter!!!
It's been so bad for me that it affects all the areas of my life in a terrible way. Especially with work - b/c I make a mistake that I am afraid to own up to, then I try to hide b/c I can't handle being confronted about the mistake. Fear and negative self-thought rules me.
My T says it doesn't have to be this way. And I do believe (knock on wood) I am making progress. But it's extremely difficult all the same.
And I am *still* beating myself up over things I did YEARS ago - even mistakes I made as a child! I just can't seem to let them go. I don't know why...
Anyway, EtktRide - whine on, all you need to. I hope you are able to conquer this.
