General Discussion / Perfectionism is destroying me
« on: September 25, 2018, 04:54:33 PM »
Can anyone else relate to always feeling like you have to be perfect all the time? I’ve noticed lately that even though I am out of my toxic environment, I still tend to take on far more responsibility than I can handle. Part of me thinks it’s because growing up I was functioning while being incredibly stressed all the time and it’s all I’ve ever known. Also, I and I’m sure everyone like me would be brutally punished for making a simple mistake of a typical child. I would try to be as perfect as possible to avoid it but in time I learned that I could never be perfect enough for my FOO. I don’t want to be like this, I’m so stressed and it’s not healthy at all. I just don’t know what to do. I’m in therapy but I feel like I need so much more help than I’m getting and it’s frustrating. Sorry if that was all over the place.
