Some days, no matter what I do, I feel like I'm not doing enough.
I'm not nurturing my kids enough.
I'm not prepping enough.
I'm not exercising enough.
I'm not cleaning enough.
I'm not cooking enough.
I'm not thin enough.
Is this something every woman/mom/person goes through? Or am I just harder on myself than the rest of the population?

Totally normal. I'd be more worried if I thought that I was doing plenty enough for my kids.
Sometimes I feel like that about some things, but overall I've become pretty forgiving of myself. I compare myself to the people that are far worse than me, I suppose. You should try it sometime! I think you'll find that you're an excellent person!! :)
(I think you truly are.)
p.s. could the prepping thing be a symptom of a larger issue, maybe? It seems a bit excessive. I think having some food and skills are good, but should it really be a pre-occupation? I say this only cause I wish you well.
p.p.s. my "prepping" is my pre-occupation and health and safety. It borders on neurosis, I'm sure.
Oh, I am sure my prepping is totally neurotic. Certainly Hubby thinks so! ;) In fact, half my family thinks I'm nuts.
It does make me feel better to do it, though, even if it never becomes necessary.
I probably should learn to be easier on myself. My parents set pretty high standards for me as a kid. Or, rather, standards that it was not in my nature to meet. I suspect my feelings of being inadequate have something to do with that.
