Restarting life daily

Have been on a continuous dead loop since 2020, having to constantly restart everything because i did something wrong and my character is not good enough to be the standard i want. I erase all my notes, clean my room, daily activities take long, a must to clean my phone and delete the messages, im so sick of it. Because of this I have been failing my exams continuously. i also wont study because things arent perfect yet and my laziness doesnt help.

I went through this all throughout my schooling and college and somewhat still do. It wasn’t until this year (I graduated in 2019) that I realized everything is always going to be perfect. In fact, most things aren’t. We can get through this with patience, hope, and determination 💗

Oh I have been there. I will write something, and then rewrite it, write it again. 10-15 drafts of something from scratch. It took me far too long to realize it was OCD. Hang in there. And do study…it will be a distraction that actually helps accomplish a goal you have instead of doing the compulsions.

I’m sorry your OCD is making school so hard. The book When Perfect Isn’t Good Enough was helpful for me. ERP can really help perfectionism.

@Erin P The book isn’t ERP but it’s got some good concepts.
