I am angry with myself for allowing myself to be hurt by a co-worker. He kept giving himself credit for work we did together. I did not find out about this until after he already had done this with our boss. What would you recommend? Should I forgive myself?

When people are angry with themselves, it is appropriate to engage in self-forgiveness, but only if they truly see the actions as morally wrong.  In your case, you were not even aware that your co-worker was taking credit for your work.  I think you need to forgive your co-worker rather than forgive yourself because you did not act immorally.  Regarding being angry with yourself, I urge you to stand in the truth that you were unaware of what was happening and therefore give yourself credit for not acting wrongly.
