Miss I'm afraid of a breakdown that will lead to failure worst case scenario lady
betrayed herself again. I'm taking ten credit hours this semester and have also taken
on a part-time job with the school library for the semester.
My all or nothing thinking says "this is either going to be totally awesome or an epic failure."
I'm hoping for totally awesome, will work at it with everything I have unless all that
drive and energy has to be taken away from school work and put towards just getting
out if bed and dressed to leave the house.
I keep making all these plans and schedules like I can just live my life the way I want to all the time.
And then when the **** hits the fans I'm always like "oh right...I forgot about failing..."

I was feeling happy and excited when I got hired today.
And now I'm hoping I can juggle school, work, meds, doctors appointments, therapy, running the house.....

I keep telling myself "you can do this, everything will be fine".
I'm trying to remain positive.
I just want to be a normal, balanced college student.

Your expectations of yourself are very high............ aiming for a perfect GPA. Is this putting extra pressure on yourself in addition to all of the other pressures? Just do the best you can in the situation you are in and tell yourself "it has to be good enough".
From one perfectionist to another....... ha ha
