Am I asking too much?

Yes .... I think you are asking WAY too much of YOURSELF!
You are worthy of living there by everything you have done, past/present.
It sounds like such beautiful surroundings you. You need to breathe and be in them, even if they are not perfect. That statement is coming from me ... a totally over-the-top perfectionist, who tries to do everything herself. I am still learning every single day that me being like that is truly my own worst enemy...you'd think I would know by now.... NOT!
Just yesterday I got up enough energy to go to the store (took a Clonazepam before leaving so I wouldn't melt down when I was there...) I had full intention of picking up 25 bags of mulch for the garden, that so woefully needs attention. I got there, starting loading up one of those big push carts.... and got to 10 bags. I could not do anymore. Screw it I said, 10 is a start!
The 10 bags are sitting in my driveway now and I will have to go back and get those other bags. I shall sit and try to enjoy the variations of the flowering weeds until I have the time and energy to deal with the next step.
I am S L O W L Y learning that nothing is so important to stress me out so completely.
However difficult/seemingly impossible it is, we have to be kind to ourselves. Worry about how we are doing before all that other "stuff".

Wow, you sound exa tly like me! Thank you for the advise. I need to learn to like myself a little bit. It is hard for me to relax if things are not done, and, done perfectly.
