I have OCPD. Been trying to let things go.

I can relate to this a lot. It's draining.

I can't remember the last time I've relaxed. I can't remember the last time I had fun. Everything I do needs to be productive — and it needs to be perfect. And because I have such high standards for myself, I can never complete projects. Nothing is ever good enough for me, especially not myself.

The word "perfectionism" is in casual usage, but to me, it has another meaning. Perfectionism prevents me from achieving anything I want to achieve. It destroys my sense of self. It destroys any sense of satisfaction I get from anything.

I feel comforted when I see other people like OCPD speak out about their experiences. I wanted to do the same, and although you didn't elaborate, I want to thank you still for sharing.

I wish you the best in your journey.
