Is there really a such thing as being too hard on yourself?

What post says on the tin. I try to see everything as a matter of discipline - how hard I work at the gym or the hours I put in at work etc as being in service to the greater goal of living a good and fulfilling life whilst sacrifice the short term.

Sometimes I doubt myself and sometimes I hate myself for it. I can get very depressed about everything but I force myself to keep going because stopping would defeat the whole purpose of everything I've been working towards.

I've heard people say that I'm too hard on myself. I want to disagree but disagreeing would suggest that they need to work harder, which isn't something I want to suggest either.

Is there a point where self improvement stops being self improvement? How do you recognise that?
