Interesting you talked about self-sabotaging your job, because that's a bit what you first post sounded like in regards to your mental health also. Might be a really good topic to broach with your therapist.
So, what can you do to fight that tendency? Again, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Find what you can do today, and you can always add more down the road. Baby steps.

That is great!! That is just what I need to work on and to do - middle road and happy medium! Thank you so much Lola!! It's part of the disease for me - black and white thinking... Happy medium sounds like the way to go I just did not see it that way. Thank you
And it just sounds so much more nicer and happier too
Happy Medium
And it makes me feel happier already
