Is it normal that i beat myself up so much?

If I make the slightest mistake or say something stupid/shitty (especially if I think it hurt someone else) I ruminate on it for a long time, feeling like I deserve to be punched in the face or sometimes even die. But the second best thing is to think about it and let it sink in. The burn it makes me feel is like a punishment in itself.

    I do that a lot too. It's not a positive thing, but I don't exactly have an answer for it either.

    I guess the best thing to remember is that punishing yourself solves nothing. As much as you feel guilty, the situation probably isn't as bad as you make yourself feel.

    No one can hurt is more than ourselves.

    Wouldn't it be easier to go find a bully to do the punching for you? No ruminating; instant gratification; POW!
