it seems like no mater what plan I make I run into walls.... and I have to always live with the "F" plan... that is working but so far away from what I wanted.........
this is now especially with education.....
I always stress out and burn out too easily and it seems it is getting faster and faster......
and while I feel I'm smart enough to learn anything I always end up being bad with new things.. because I eighter force myself trough anxiety painfully or freeze and do nothing.
right now I'm about to cry (I'm in selfdoubt again) that no mater what I plan for just education..... I always fail because of this. and I'd be sad to leave yet this behind of me... yet I know I'll collapse under my own pressure soon................
and the other very sad part is that I know once I know something with a level of certainity I'm good to go... I can do my job and all.........
but I'm so unable to reach that level.
why do I wrong myself? how can I simply ... and slowly approach a plan without loosing impact and/or completely stressing out?

Maybe break it down into smaller increments, that you can handle. I know if I look at the over all picture I get intimidated and start to withdraw. Maybe learn some stress relieving methods such as deep breathing exercises or other types of relaxation techniques. Check out and consider your learning style. Maybe you are trying to force yourself to learn in a manner that is stressful to you. Like I don't do well with lectures, just hearing something doesn't make things stick in my brain. I have to work harder at learning than say my daughter who has a great memory. I on the other hand have to write things over and over to be able to remember them. And I memorize by seeing what I've written.
