Self criticism and high expectations at work #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Work #Selfcriticism #lowselfesteem
I started a new job today, and already my mood has plummeted even more than usual (if that's even possible). It wasn't a hard day. In fact, it was an incredibly easy day all things considered, but every second of that day was filled with self-critical thoughts. "You're not doing well enough", "you should be doing more, "you're not working quick enough", "you need to give it more oomph", "they probably think you're a let down" etc. etc. etc. I am so completely exhausted an depleted by millions of self critical thoughts that fill my mind every second of every day, particularly in work situations, completely exhausting me, to the point where I am just dragging myself through every second, pasting a smile on my face and wondering what is the point of all this when I am battling with my own mind. How do other people cope with this? Please help me find a way to shut this stupid voice up!! I hate her so fricking much and she is ruining my entire life!!! I just want to feel mildly ok with myself on a day to day basis and no feel filled with burning self hatred and inadequacy every second of my entire life! 😔😔😔
