What do you do when you start doubting if you can change yourself?

So I have worked really hard to get rid of my perfectionism but everytime I get rid of it, it comes back. I was making good progress last semester but I lost it all after finals.





What do you do?? Its SO annoying I hate my perfectionism but its kind of complicated to throw off.



Its like a balancing act.



Therapists.. Psychologists.. whoever.. What do you do when your client tries really hard to throw offsomething like perfectionism and but it sneaks back up on them...?



How do you keep it away? I want to get rid of it before I get out of college. I cant take it with me to my career you know.

It sounds like possibly a bit of Obsessive/Compulsive disorder......';Habits'; can be very deeply ingrained over long periods of time and many don't realize it until they become obstacles.I think you can eventually untie any mental hindrance but somewhat like the habit was formed it must be systematically undone.You'll probably have to really learn to grasp your immediate consciousness and just keep not letting it get to your perfectionist mind state.It will get easier and easier the more you do this.There are a lot worse things than ';perfectionism'; though....but maybe you can get used to the notion of ';good'; is good enough and you don't need the pressure of ';perfect';(which is impossible)....good luck...take it easy and don't get too hard on yourself.What do you do when you start doubting if you can change yourself?
stop doubting yourself and believe and push yourself
You can pray about your life. Tell God about your problems. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: ';Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen.'; I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
