Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There are parts of me
- I hold myself to a standard of basically never making mistakes, so every ordinary slip-up feels like a defect in me
- I’ve decided I just am this
- I just know I feel "bad" or "anxious" in this big blurry way, and underneath it I’m beating myself up for even feeling it
- I flub one thing — a bad meeting, a clumsy text — and within seconds I’ve gone from "that went badly" to "I’m a failure," like the single slip becomes a verdict on the entire person I am.
