I thought that was just part of being raised Catholic. 
I’ve heard that ADD comes with a perfectionist streak. I’ve found that with dieting and organizing, if I can’t do it absolutely right, I get frustrated and do nothing, which is far worse. Maybe this is another side of that coin. Nobody’s perfect, but I think we have more trouble accepting that about ourselves.
Try to maintain a sense of humor about it, and realize that everybody makes mistakes. When you’re able to do that, please tell me how.
I tend to learn through quotes, so for what it’s worth:
- “A learning experience is one of those things that says, ‘You know that thing you just did? Don’t do that.'” -Douglas Adams
- “Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.” – Franklin P. Jones
- “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” – Mahatma Gandhi
