I try to do that, but it isn't working out very well. And my therapists say I aim for things that can't be reached. That I can't expect from myself that I can do everything other people with my IQ can, or even people with more average IQ's, or people with half my IQ, because I also have half a dozen psychiatric diagnoses/issues. (I counted - actually seven) And that I'm overworked because I'm trying and (need to) engage in unhealthy coping mechanisms in order to continue trying (such as ignoring my own limits/boundaries and repressing everything that doesn't help me reach my goal, such as thoughts, nightmares and memories)

That whole "shoot for the moon - even if you miss you'll land among the stars" isn't working out for me. So far for me it is "shoot for the moon - if you miss you fall down far and hit the ground hard."
