Preserving through failure

Feeling like the world is ending is the worst possible thing to happen. This tends to happen to me because I feel like everyone expects a lot from me and I don't want to let them down. It is very overwhelming at times. I try not to let it bother me, but it is sometimes tough to keep it in. I never thought of myself being an overachiever, but as of right now, I feel like I'm a perfectionist. If it isn't perfect or if I don't get that A, I'm not satisfied.  


When situations don't go my way as when I don't get that high score, I feel like I let everyone down and I get really stressed and then break down. 





To fix my problem:
- Go and talk to someone about it. 
- Don't worry about the grade, worry about what you have learned. 


I have to keep working on this and overcome my failures to keep preserving. 
If you have the same problem and you have figured out how to handle it healthily please share.
