anyone else have this problem? I didn't think it was a problem, rather a blessing, increasing my desire to do well in life. But then, this weekend, I burnt a pan of cookies (toffee and dark chocolate), threw them in the sink and started crying and screaming. i now know it's a serious issue. I also think it's what drives my procrastination. I am afraid to complete something, fearing it won't be good enough. I don't have a therapist right now to ask about this. i am wondering if a good cognitive therapist would tell me to try more things and work on how I accept failing at them or ? I just don't know. i need a therapist.
if i fuck up, i get pissed and agitated, but i don't really see it as a failure. idk, i just deal with everything that comes my way.
i'm a bit like that. apparently not to the same extent though... i don't really have any advice beyond start smoking weed, which you've already done...
you don't need a therapist. just take responsibility for your own life. for your own decisions. own up to who you are and the things you need to work on, and then work on them. it's not rocket science. it may seem scary, but it's perfectly possible to grow on your own without spending thousands of dollars on therapists.
no, not an option or a desire. I say "omg I wanna kill myself' a lot, but never mean it. Usually it's to express the severity of a situation to my husband or just to be a drama queen.
Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. I meant that she's alot stronger than she thinks. But... there are different ways to deal with a situation... maybe she could consider a different way if she thought about it differently. Question your thoughts, that's what I suggest.
ohhhh lets throw cookies together. And smash plates. and um, go egging! and make new cookie dough and smear it on each other.
Me and you, we are two totally different creatures. I don't mind failing at, to the point where I have very little try. I do not remember the last time I really put effort into anything, and I'm not exaggerating. I think my condition is worse.
Doesnt seem right to freak out and start crying over baked goods. I wouldnt say you need a therapist but I will say that it sounds as if you are on the wrong track. It's good to have drive to be the best you can be but at the same time you should have a love affair with yourself that is not detructive.
