I bought a wonderful book that I have used often to help me with my perfectionism. It's called "When Perfect Isn't Good Enough" and it's published by New Harbinger Press. I highly recommend it. Impossible standards are only the beginning of my problems--I enjoy the onslaught of magical thinking, etc. as well!
Good luck with your attempts to fight it. You can help yourself and be an example to others suffering, too.
