I am just never satisfied.

Posted by Anonymous

It's so annoying. I'm never ever satisfied. I'm way, way more critical on myself than anyone but it gets so annoying. I'm really actually pretty easy going when it comes to others, but expect myself to be superwoman. Example: I'm a size 0-2 but my body isn't toned enough, I have masters but not a doctorate, I have a good job and make good money but it's still never, ever enough. It's really, really frustrating :(

I actually don't whine about it at all. That's why I posted here. I just wanted to get it off my chest. I tend to work myself to the bone and don't know how to take it easy. It's really quite frustrating. I am aware that's it's totally ridiculous, I just can't control myself. I have a lot if anxiety.

You should see a therapist about that. Not kidding, it would really help you I think.

That's how I am but not with myself ( although there's plenty I don't like about myself) but more so in relationships. I always flake out. I will feel so in love one day and the next just completely feel differently and miserable.

I used to and I probably should again. My dad died pretty suddenly and tragically when I was 16, which was why I started therapy. I think my insecurities stemmed from that. It was so unexpected so now I try to be prepared for everything, which I know is not possible.

I get this.

I am a good...no make that a GREAT nurse, yet every error kills me. I am a size 4. Not good enough. Boobs aren't big enough. Ass ain't small enough. Not sexy enough. Not smart enough. Not awesome enough...

So frustrating, right? Especially bc I know it's so ridiculous.
