Q: I'm a perfectionist I guess you could say. But I don't have like OCD and things don't have to be in the right spot..etc. However, on like tests and stuff, I study so hard and when I get the test back to find I got a 93%, I freak, beating myself up and things. The biggest problem is in school. If I don't get a 98-100% I tend to give myself a HARD time. How do I get over this? This happens in sports too. If I do one thing wrong (bad pass, miss a layup, etc.) that's all I think about the whole game, which causes me to mess up more.
Pleeeaassse... any help is welcome! Thanks!
that could be a form of ocd, i had that it lasted for about a year now it switched to the negative and reasurrnce label of ocd. thers like five different kinds, the one where everything has to be in the right spot is te main kind that everyone thinks is the only kind bc its most common.
im not trying to freak you out its not that bad of a thing, but ask your mom or doctor, n if its how you say it is they definatly will do something. lol i remember them taking me out of school bc i was to obsessed with school and grades and bein such a perfectionist. i really cant think right now im sorry ill probly edit this later, hope i helped thoo

Everything happens for a reason, I’ve been threw a bit but it all helps make me stronger. At times I’m the screw the world kind of girl but most of the time I’m happy loving life no matter what it throws at me, while being optimistic as I can threw it all. The most intense firsthand parts of my life I went threw in these short 14 years is family death, bipolar, surgery difficulties and numbness failing, anxiety attacks, cancer, ocd, blood work, cutting, new schools, jailed family, suicide, depression and a bit more. I love my boyfriend more than life itself he understands me n helps me no matter my resistance. I love to help others especially if they’ve been threw any of the same struggles as me, I like to get in peoples’ heads and help mentally, I always do it to my friends they only said how much they like how I help n always know what to say, I want to be a psychologist or doctor or surgeon or artist or photographer, which I still have a ways to come to decide. Helping others threw stuff makes me feel useful, I’ve saved three of my best friends’ lives from suicide, that’s the best accomplishment ever. I believe in ghosts and spirits you may think its weird so then just shut up, they saved my cousins and family’s’ and my own life, their all around and they haunt us for the good of it watching over us. I’m in a bit of a painful surgical recovery right now so I might be on a lot, inbox me il answer absolutely anything I’m obsessed w music btw, aren’t we all lol I’m just a happy loving spazzy hyper girl having fun, everything happens for a reason. –estella!
