The perfectionist feels like it’s killing the hard work being put into therapy and coping skills and it’s utterly exhausting

So I guess this is a small vent and just seeing if other people feel the same and what’s helped

So small backstory official OCPD diagnosis over two years ago with other sprinkles of flavors / diagnoses originally misdiagnosed OCD and a few i/o treatments for funsies ( I’m using dark humor don’t hate me)

I understand that I have limitations and that things need to be worked on you go to therapy you try treatments and I understand that nothing is overnight no matter how badly we want that instant gratification but the insane perfectionism that feels like it is radiating through my body at the fact that certain specific things are not mixed with everything on how long it’s been is utterly exhausting trying to keep it straight in my mind that these things take time and it’s exhausting no matter how much rationality it has in my brain that I understand it will just take more time. I cannot get the perfectionism and need for it too be done or done more proper than it is being done now close my mind.
