But as much as you understand that, it is a part of the personality type to strive for perfection, and that's okay. Just understand that you can only do your best, and then allow that to be okay.

Thanks Shannon. I've been feeling the weight of the world off my shoulders lately. Especially because I've had these emotions that I've been trying to ignore because I was trying so hard to be perfect and not affected by the negativity. But I'm doing what I can do and letting them run their course, even if that means a few days of not feeling so great. I think even opening up to myself has been a big step up. Now I'm not dealing with that constant threat of feeling like I've failed because of setting the bar too high.
