Yeah we all have to live with it. We have to handle it so it not internering our lifes.

Hello I´m New to this forum. I am suffering from perfectionism. It has prevented me from doing things in my life. Sometimes iˋm kind of Paralyzed. When i was Young i had more of a ocd thoughts about contamination and about repeating things over again. Nowadays iˋm suffering from perfectionism thpughts like everything have to perfect. Im thinking black n white. Only seeing problems no solution. I can also be perfect about goals that I have in my life for example i have to do this exactly amount of things and have to be finished exactly that time . If iˋm not finished with that goal that time i planned to be finished, i Will feel like a Big misstake. Also i overplanning things sometimes. Also i think sometimes that i have to know everything about a subject before i make it in reality. For example if I wanna learn japanese and travel to Japan. I can think That i have to learn thousands of words and talking fluently before i go there. I try to handle my perfectionism but i canˋt get so motivated by myself. Iˋm searching for others there that suffers from perfectionism. We can help each others with our troubles i Will be happy to hear from you. Sorry for my spelling sometimes ;)

The anser with this type of ocd. Start small really small. Ive struggled for years with that when i was Young im free today allmost. When i was Young i could wash my hands thirty Times’ after going to toilet I was scared sometimes to touch others. The answer is think what you are scared about? Think logical like. What am I really think gonna happen If for example i touch this door-handle. Your logic brain will think nothing maybe there are some bacterias there. Ooh we have a immune defensiv system in our bodies. Your feelings are gonna feel ooh i can´t touch that or this. Trying to go against your fears and feelings. Begin today just do it once even If itˋs very hard. Maybe next time you can try to do the thing you have fear of twice. So think logical what am i really afraid of? What am i really logical think gonna happen? Go against your fears. At last have patience patience. Madchoc If you want you can write to me anytime. I hope to hear from you. I Will give you some more and many more advice. Hope peace happiness to you.
