I think we have a hard time with perfectionism so, as trite as this may sound and as difficult as it is to put into practice, try not to be too hard on yourself. People are self-centered (we all are, so it's no indictment against the people in your life or anything) and when we don't do exactly what they think we should, sometimes they react in a way that makes us as borderlines come down too hard on ourselves. Remember, also, to only do what's in your power to do and to stay within that boundary; it makes life a lot simpler. I'm sure you're fine and doing a great job.
