Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I hold myself to a standard of basically never making mistakes, so every ordinary slip-up feels like a defect in me
- My head runs on a constant track of "I must get this right" and "I should never mess up," and the moment I fall short of one of those the self-attack is instant and brutal
- After a rejection or a bad day my mind spins the same dark story on a loop and I can’t find where it’s actually going wrong
- There are parts of me
- 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
Practices that may help
- Unconditional Self-Acceptance
Unconditional self-acceptance (USA), a cornerstone of Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, means accepting yourself as a fallible human being regardless of performance or approval — not because you are special, but because rating the whole self on any single act is logically incoherent. The evidence is strongest for the clinical outcomes of REBT; the specific USA construct has solid theoretical and observational support. - Practice deliberate acceptance of human fallibility
