"disappointed in" or "disappointed with"?

I remember using the phrase "I'm disappointed in myself" a lot when I was still learning English, but lately the phrase "I'm disappointed with myself" sounds more "right" to me. Can anyone clear this up for me, please?

Thanks. Now I need to remember to go back to saying "disappointed in" instead of "disappointed with."

I am a native English speaker, and both "in" and "with" sound right, and I use them both.
