I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and through gruelingly painful treatment I have come to the conclusion that it is sometimes very necessary to be ashamed of what you are. To hate yourself. Often, I can't help but wonder how much lighter I would feel if I was able to keep my pride, but whether it's been the psychoactive effect of the medication, my dismal life, or some combination of both, I now don't seem to be able to generate anything other than self loathing in my head. Believe me, this is a very awful feeling but to psychiatrists it is insight and might help me to get off of the meds so that I will be able to experience life to the fullest I can again.
Do you believe that self loathing ultimately ends up helping people sometimes or can we not be at our best because of it?
Does it depend on the situation?
