Omg yes, I just commented this but I noticed you mentioned it first! This quote kind of changed my life.

Learning to do what I’m capable of instead of being perfect has had a big impact on my wellbeing

Another piece of wisdom I read on here was a story about someone’s lesson to “run the dishwasher twice”. I’ll try to find it but the gist was that he was struggling too much to properly load his dishwasher, so his therapist (I think) told him just to put things in, and run the dishwasher twice. A lesson that it’s okay to use the tools you have available in the way that you need them if it’s going to get you through the day
