This might be an example of
  • filtering, and/or
  • polarized thinking, and/or
  • overgeneralization, and/or
  • emotional reasoning, and/or
  • global labeling
See Dr. Grohol's 15 Common Cognitive Distortions.

In short, the temporary inability to complete one assignment given by someone you are paying to help you is woefully insufficient evidence you are a "failure" (whatever a "failure" is).
