Yeah, I get that. I think perfectionism is one thing that was somewhat helped by Zoloft, but the problem for me was still finding the right balance between caring too much and not caring at all. For me, it's like perfectionism is a harsh, static-y sound drowning out other emotions and values, and Zoloft is just a volume control (at best). It lowers the volume of the static, but it lowers the volume of the melody as well. It didn't help at all with better turning to the melody.

Dr. Simon Sobo has hypothesized that SSRIs are "don't care" pills. For some, at some times in the their lives, that's good, I guess.
