From school to career, in her appearance, friendships, and even everyday interactions, she was always anxious not to disappoint. Becoming a mother finally tipped her over the edge, and she wound up in a mental-health unit. Her attempts to be everything to everyone—and to do it all perfectly—had taken their toll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrace could no longer avoid the truth: she was chronically addicted to saying yes.
