Read my last journal entry, theories 1.0.
It may be kind of confusing, I was typing off the top of my head.
Perfection and expectations play a big part here. There is really no true meaning of perfect, as we ALL are different, yet all the same underneath it all. Learn to accept yourself and different, yet the same- not better or worse than.....You really do have control over your life, now's the time to see your thoughts for what they are, but dig out the feelings behind the thoughts and ask why you feel that way. Keep digging for feelings behing the feelings. For example "I hate myself" ask "why do I feel that way?"- can maybe lead to "because I can't do anything right"- well, agian, "why do i feel that way?"...and so on and so on. That is such an effective step to help you realize what's going on and then you can assess the issues by consciously making an effort to change your thought process. Try it sometime.
