My depressed thoughts roll in like a fog. Before I know it I am calling myself a STUPID IDIOT and asking myself why can't i do anything right?!!! I normally try to block these thoughts out of my conscious awareness like LA LA LA I can't hear you and proceed with my normal life. Instead, I decided to listen to them and try to hear what they had to say. I then used the all mighty "acceptance paradox" on them where you try to find a grain of truth (if not a whole lot more) in the criticism and humbly accept it. It worked like a charm. And I felt a ton of relief when I remembered it is ok to suck, be below average and have a day or year in which u accomplish nothing productive at all. It would be nice to crush it, but the fact is I DO NOT always crush it. I crush it on pretty much average levels. And that is ok. I felt a lot better.
