Perfectionist Plus?

Question

dealing with a sort of perfectionism that seems to get in my way. Schoolwork, life planning, I get overwhelmed at the thought of any extra activity or even anything extra to think about or decide on....i am anxious and worried and it seems to almost be such a part of me that I don't even realize it. I feel it though, I feel it aging me, I am so scared that I am going to make the wrong decision...or that I have not done my paper quite right...or good enough...in the end....I end up just stuck, scared to make any decisions about my future for fear of them being wrong.....I don't know, sounds crazy I know, but it's making me crazy, really, Im so sick of doing this to myself but I don't know how to chill out...or be satisfied with anything I do, it's no fun, anyone understand this. briefly I want to add that I was a crystal meth addict for 2+ years, been clean for 14 months, working a great job, stable environment... lost my daughter because of meth, this definitely adds to my worries.

Answer 1

STAY CLEAN OF THAT METH!! STAY STAY STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS!! WHO DO YOU NOW OF THAT DRUGS HAVE HELPED??? ANSWER: NOBODY!!! IT WAS PROBABLY THAT METH THAT DID THIS TO YOU!! WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO HEAL NOW IS MEDITATION AND HEALTH YOU NEED EFA (READ BELOW FOR INFO ON WHAT IS EFA) AND A LOT OF MEDITATION USING THESE MEDITATION CD'S (USE THESE CD'S EVERYDAY FOR A YEAR AND YOU WILL GET RID OF YOUR PERFECTIONISM PROBLEM),WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS AN AFTER AFFECT OF THE VERY HARSH CHEMICALS THAT ARE FOUND IN METH THESE CHEMICALS CAN (CAN) CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE (EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN CLEAN 14 MONTHS) SO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO NOW THAT YOU ARE CLEAN IS START REVERSING THE DAMAGE BY SUPPLIMENTING ON THESE EFA AND MINERALS (YOU WILL NEED TO DO THIS FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR). IF YOU FOLLOW MY ADVICE IT WILL PROBABLY HELP YOU TO GET BETTER. I AM GOING TO PASTE A COPY OF AN EMAIL THAT I SENT TO SOMEONE ELSE BELLOW..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................i have been using some deep medatation cd's that have helped me a lot thay cause a bunch of issues to surface though, i think it is so that you are faced with it and you can overcome the issue, the instructions for the program say to use the cd's every day but i think that it is only a good idea to do this for the first six weeks of the program and then to use them at your own pace of maybe two or three times a week at least for me anyway, ALSO DON'T TURN THE VOLUME UP VERY LOUD AT ALL WHEN LISTENING TO THE CD'S (when listening to these cd's you have to use a portable cd player with headphones) the company is called centerpoint (click on link)http://www.centerpointe.com . i suggest changing your diet, drink a lot of clean bottled water (my guess is that you drink cofee and soda all day, you want to take these things out of your diet for sure and smoking) include MINERALS (the sports one is flavored or else i think that there are others that are flavored) AND EFA dietary supplements from a company called American Longevity, phone#[phone] Boswell Road, chula vista, California 91914 also you should be careful about the amount of the mineral supplements do not exceed more then one tablespoon a day.Vitamins, the vitamin product that i use is called E 7 (essential seven) the telephone number is 1(888) 737-7307 i would take only one half of one scoop a day . if you do some study about what exactly it is that all of these different vitamins and minerals PURPOSE INSIDE OR BODY'S is you will probably figure out that they can help to elevate ALMOST all symptoms of ill health,there is a audio tape about minerals called "dead doctors don't lie" call 1800-982-3189 to order.

Answer 2

Were you a perfectionist before the meth?

one things that can happen is that if a person is doing drugs it can mess up their brain chemistry. Or the trouble with the brain chemistry imbalance can lead to the drug use. Sort of what comes first....the chicken or the egg sort of thing.

The important thing is that you are off the drugs and I want to congratulate you on that accomplishment. I also think it is good that you know yourself well enough to know that your prefectionism affects your life.

You might have some Obcessive Compulsive disorder. I would advise you to check with your doctor or a psychitrist concerning your cncerns.

You just might need more time to gain your cnfidence in your ability to deal with life and mature.

I think it is great that you are willing to see yourself and want to make changes to be the best you that you can be.

Maybe try Yoga. It is fantastic in relaxing and learning to breath and relax through whatever happens in life.
