I find this berating and self-hating to be such an overwhelming thing to overcome. I have had one big life change after the other for the past, oh, 11 years, and it is so tiring to finally get to a point where I can "function" again on a creative level, only to have to rebuild and reprogram a way of Being, as a person as much as a creator. Yes, it *is* tiring...and never-ending. And often feels unforgiving, but I think that is what we need, forgiveness of ourself by ourselves for ourselves. It takes time and we have to take the time, and. not feel crushed we when don't get or can't take.
Good luck being gentle with yourself and getting to a good place.
