Not the op but coming from a perfectionist I think it’s a double edged sword because in those cases perfection isn’t necessarily being perfect it’s being better than the other guy, so it’s a lower bar to reach but also you can end up overworking yourself a lot more because “victory” or “perfection” is so close in these situations rather than a platonic idea of perfection.

I have spent my entire life with little to no motivation to do anything because I always expect perfection from myself and give up right away because I know I can’t achieve it. I was recently diagnosed with clinical depression and although therapy has helped me get through the bad days I still have little to no motivation to do anything. I’m on the fence about taking medication and I would like to know if I where to take the medicine if I would gain some motivation or if that’s a different issue entirely, separate from my depression?
