Proven to be true...the depression/anxiety/self-esteem/stupidity has won. I've been under so much stress and so depressed, I screwed up at work. If you've any of my other posts recently you know how stressed at work I've been; I was supposed to go to one of our satellite offices this morning to enroll a patient in a study and I totally 100% forgot! I'm the administrator!! I can't make mistakes like this! I need to be able to focus and all I can focus on is that I'm an idiot!

No one is perfect, it happens to the best of us. Be gentle with yourself and forgive the mistakes. If you carry on calling yourself an idiot, you'll just feel worse and worse.

You're not an idiot, you yourself have said you've been very stressed lately and unfortunately being stressed just adds extra pressure and involves us in a great big anxious circle.
Just remember to take time to breath and try and relax... and like Pegasus said, no one is perfect.
Have you ever tried yoga? I find that yoga really helps with my stress and anxiety.

Take care,
Molly

Thank you, but with everything else going on, the one thing I pride myself on is at least I don't screw up at work. I take on more and more and more and get more and more stressed about it, but I dont' screw up. I know I shouldn't feel totally worthless, but I do. I just don't know how to get over it. If I tell myself it's ok, then am I saying it's ok to not do my best, ok to screw up, ok to let a mistake happen?

You DID do your best, it just happened not to be perfect this time. And, yes, it IS ok to make mistakes sometimes.

Take care, cantstopcrying!
Thanks for this!

I hope you've held on to some happy thoughts tonight
