Toxic curse Little Miss Perfect : Women feel under pressure to excel Antonia Hoyle for the Daily Mail © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo Every evening, after putting her two daughters to bed, Sheena Tanna-Shah walked into her own bedroom, closed the door behind her, sat on the floor with her back against it, and sobbed. ‘My emotions were all over the place. I was irritable and angry,’ says Sheena, 37, from Northampton. For years, the high-achieving optometrist had strived to have the perfect body, be the perfect wife, the perfect friend and perfect mother. By the time her youngest daughter, Isla, was two, the effort to excel had brought her to the brink of breakdown. ‘Every day I’d try and be perfect,’ she recalls. ‘The more I tried, the worse I felt.’ Six years, endless therapy sessions and much soul-searching later, and Sheena has learned to stop holding herself to impossibly high standards.
