school help: I have trouble doing my assignments because I can’t stop worrying whether it will be ‘good enough’ - Help.com

I have trouble doing my assignments because I can’t stop worrying whether it will be ‘good enough’

my parents keep telling me not to worry about quality and to just write, but I sort of freeze and I can’t remember any of the stuff I’m supposed to know. I’ve had anxiety issues for a while and it’s gotten to the point where I am thinking of taking a break from school until I’ve gotten my head sorted out. I’ve tried counselors, psychiatrists, everything-I’m going mad here, can somebody help?

Have you tried expressive writing for your own personal therapy.. This has nothing to do with school work… but to sit down and just let your hand do all the work… to put out words that come to mind without them nessasarily having to make sense. I do this all the time. It really helps me with my anxiety and depression.

I keep a diary to help with anxiety… once its all written down then i can move forward and not worry so much… guess it’s the same as expressive writing mentioned above… it really does help… and try and keep this in proportion… it’s an assignment… if it is not good enough the teacher will tell you, point out where you could improve it and you’ll do a it more to bring it up to scratch… it’s not the end of the world.

Yea, and after all you go to school/college to learn new things and improve yourself. If you were brilliant from the very start, would there be any point doing so? ;)
