Feel Bad With My Imperfection - for all OCDs

Post Reply New Topic

Nevermind how odd your obsessions seem for other.
Here you can complain and cry about everything what's wrong done.
Do you feel that telling about wrong-dones is SO NOT PERFECT?


I feel bad I can't eat regular (school is very unnecessary, it can only do harm). I feel bad my body has worse proportions.
I feel bad I exercise not enough. I'm afraid of my bloodtest, what I'll do if it's not as pretty as in medical book...

I feel bad when my plans don't work.
I'm afraid I will write my test ( about toxic chemie) in wrong way, with wrong words, in another way they wanted...
I didn't make my chart for school, how could I?
I'm depressed I'm not good enough and it makes me worse.

Why perfection? We should all strive to improve ourselves... but perfection is not attainable. I recall a children's book I read in school long ago, which depicted perfection as undesirable - a state of near-nonexistence. I learned at a young age that nobody is perfect - those charged with my education were just as fallible as myself. Basically, perfection is impossible, and impossibility is impossible to find.

Who's standards are you following? If they are someone else you will never
live up to them.

And we all fail. Thomas Edison when asked how he felt about failing so many times in
his experiments said.. I never failed, I just learned 1000 ways not to do something.

Never give up on yourself..And keep trying, you will get it right sooner or later.
The true failure is the person that stops trying. A mistake is just a chance to learn how
to do it right..

Most great inventions or new way of thought were accomplished by someone that was different.
Nothing wrong with being different. Just focus on your strength.

Anybody cleans hands or brushes teeth very often?

People are so dirty!

I brush my teeth again and again if I don't get it right the first time.

I brush my teeth about 6 times a day and wash my hands to much I keep lotion everywhere I go. The handwashing started when I was little, and I'd wash them until they bled. It was really bad. Now I'm more careful.

I would probably say I'm a bit on the obsessed side with exercising....to the point that it's affected my health.

I have been obsessed with artwork and perfection as well. I've freaked out over many art projects.

I feel anxious if I have left dishes undone or if I havent organised something and it is left disorganised. It is a hangover from 10 years of office work, a few of those years being in a role with lots of deadlines. I still feel like I am working to deadlines all the time, even though I am actually unemployed, I still run around freaking out over things undone.
