I'm a perfectionist, and it's ruining my life.
So I went to therapy today because of my mental breakdown over work a few days ago. Basically, the reason I was so stressed and anxious about work (and literally everything in my life) is because I'm a perfectionist with a fear of failure. I try to be perfect in every aspect in my life. I try to have perfect grades, be the perfect employee, be the perfect friend, everything. And if I'm anything less than perfect I feel like a failure, which is so much unnecessary stress. Because I'm human. I make mistakes. I'm doing my best and that's all that matters. I have to accept that my best is enough. Working myself up will only set me up for more mistakes (like crashing my car oops).
Anyway, I'm working on that.
