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???

All the time. I figure what is the point of doing it if it can't be perfect.

I know. But then the work piles up. Eventually triggering guilt or depression.
How to be more carefree? More laid back? Here in CR the Latinas seem to have a grip on it. But I don't jive with lowered expectations. Plus I've already accomplished more in my life than 100 "well" people. It's just the recent black mania and ip and ECT that's got me feeling so behind the eight ball. Boo hoo.

It's part of my meltdown I had yesterday. I just stopped work for the day. If I can't do it like I know I can, what's the point?

I just went to bed like I had planned. I woke around 3:30 and ordered Dominos. I work Mon-Fri so I'm good for now. Thinking of actually going into the office on Monday (I work from home on Mondays as well) to talk to my boss about this because the anxiety about this is killing me.

Does he already know about your mental condition?

Yeah my boss, my previous boss, and their boss know. They're all very understanding. It also helps that I work for the APA so that they really know what it is and are accommodating.
