High Standards

During sophomore year of nursing school, I told my counselor that I was getting really scared I was going to relapse into anorexia because of my perfectionism in school. If I got less than 93% on assignments, I felt that I didn’t deserve to eat and would restrict.

Her response was, “Well, I really admire your hard work, and I think it’s admirable what high standards you hold yourself to. That dedication is going to help your future patients.”

I was also her last appointment of the day. She was behind her desk, packing her things up to leave while she was talking to me. Story credit: Reddit / Gur_Signal
