Lazy Perfectionist #perfectionsim #GeneralAnxietyDisorder #Organizing #sleepdeprived

It could just be me. My energy level is low but my mind is always racing. I can spend all day in bed trying to sleep but I’m still exhausted. My house is going downhill. I want my house to be perfect and clean. I’m overwhelmed by my personal items and I love my collectables but I want my house “Grown up”. I feel like no matter how much decluttering I do I actually can’t get it to the bin. I want family or friends to visit but, I can’t get it together. I want someone,s help but the pit in my stomach is causing me not too. What if my friends judge me, I’m an adult why can I do this myself?! All I want to is sleep..

How did you cope with having to put down a pet?

I just found out that I need to put down my first dog. We potentially have some wiggle room as to when, but certainly not longer than a month. I just have to prevailing thoughts: 1. I failed my dog 2. I want to die when he does. I've never had to put down a pet before and I have no idea how to get through it, especially the guilt. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. #Depression #SuicidalThoughts #Guilt #perfectionsim

Animated example of dealing with Intrusive Thoughts (The Cloud Analogy)

Hi all! I just wanted to share this animation that I made to illustrate the process of dealing with an intrusive thought. Whatever that thought may be, in the video it is represented as a cloud moving through the sky. We have the choice to engage with that thought or instead, to acknowledge that it is a thought and let it continue on its way without engaging it. The second option is of course not easy and it takes practice, though it is well worth it!

How do you push through a creative block, especially one that comes from perfectionism and leads to procrastination?

This is an oil painting I am making for my in-laws and have been hoping to finish for the last few months but keep finding myself stuck,mainly out of fear of it not being good enough. It is a portrait of their cat Gus. I'm looking for encouragement and tips on moving past a creative block.
I am not a professional so some of the anxiety comes from not understanding proper technique. I will say I am happy with the 🐈.
