I am quite like that also. Just seems to be like a habit almost. I also get that way when things don't go to plan. I am trying to take things day by day at the moment. And it's always important to try and communicate your thoughts and feelings to whoever. Though family 'tend' to be especially understanding xx

I hope you give yourself a break and let things ride. Nobody is a robot or a super human. You are fine the way you are.

I think a lot of us are that way. It can take a toll on you and wear you down. I use to stress out about things when they don't work out as plan but not anymore. I do what I can, pray, and leave it in God's hand. Make sure to take out time to take care of you. Best wishes

You sound like my mother in law...we enjoy her the most when things don’t go the way she thinks they should, so my encouragement to you is this: if you get it all right, then you have the satisfaction of accomplishing your goals , but if you get it wrong, there’s a good chance you have loved ones who REALLY don’t mind and just enjoy YOU. Sounds like a win win to me😉👍🏻
