If I know or my depressed mind tells me I won't do a good enough job at a task I avoid it.
This compulsion for perfection doesn't bother me as much in the manic state, but later leads to a deep depression when I'm constantly disappointed in the outcomes.
I've had loads of therapy for this, listen to self help tapes, write stuff down.
I'm left with lots of things not done. Not even started.
I wonder if my meds are partly to blame for my lack of confidence???
