I'm curious. Can depression begin by hating yourself? Or maybe by just disliking!


Question:
I really dislike myself. I am very sarcastic and rude, and I am sort of abusive. Not like you think, just like when someone says something sarcastically I hit their arm or something. It's playful enough, but I really want to stop. The problem is. I can't. I don't like the way I am and I'm always slamming myself. Could this possibly lead to depession if I let it go on? I pray often that it doesn't, but I don't know. Anyone have an answer?
Answers:
I don't think people realize how many different ways that we can relate to God emotionally:
Praise - I tell God all the ways he is so good
Waiting - I just close my eyes and be silent in his presence
Petition - I ask him for good things and needs in my life
Thanksgiving - I thank him for all of the good things he has done for me
Ask - Ask him specific questions you have about your life
Scripture Prayer - Asking for specific things from the Bible
Forgiveness - I think about the people that have affected me negatively and tell Him that I forgive them and ask Him to help them not to do those things again.
Intercession - I pray for people I know that have needs.

Other Answers:
Yes. I suggest taking a workshop or engaging in something challenging to build your self esteem.

Depression can come from anything.

Try to take life a bit easier.

Yes, self-deprecation can be harmful. I think you should possibly see a therapist or tell your friends you want to change and seek support.

One definition of depression is 'Anger turned inward.'
Get some help with it now before it spirals out of control.

Self-destructive behavior (like being mean to your friends and potentially alienating them) is definitely a symptom of depression, but it doesn't mean you're headed for a downward spiral necessarily. Try to find inspiration to improve yourself, and by all means if you can see a therapist, do it! All it can do is help you. And remember, you CAN change!
