Am I ever gonna get over the self hatred?

I'm trying to detect the triggers...
Is it physical exhaustion and blaming myself for causing it?
Constant disappointment in myself?
Mistakes (that turned out to be okay in reality...) but still grave if turned out otherwise?
Disappointing some people I look up to and respect?
Failing to take care of myself properly?
Failing to manage stress from work and other events?
Failing to focus and keeping the procrastination?

I usually like to radiate good energy around people, but now my closest ones are noticing how sad have I been looking recently.

Is it... the smooth transition of the cycle?

I wish I could find a solution to this low mood of mine.

I recently read a study which posits that those who spend a LOT of time deep diving into THEMSELVES and their own feelings are almost consistently miserable.

The same study posits that those who think about others, and about how they can help other people, are almost consistently peaceful and content.

@4meAndyou I dedicate my life to help others (within the realms of possibility)... this is my legacy.
However with my disorder that you are most aware of, introspection is necessary, and if anything... it saved me. More than I can imagine.

@4meAndyou Probably, but it may be the chicken-egg thing. Like why the need to be in deep thoughts about oneself.
