Don't worry yourself. Its better to be a perfectionist than someone who just doesn't care.

And it doesn't mean you're a failure. I didn't get great grades either, but they are useful to see where you went wrong so you can improve next time. Maybe sit back a bit, take it easy when you write rather than pressure yourself, then things might flow easier.

Don't skip school on the basis of one exam result. I sucked at school and i regret it to this day that i gave up, for me it seemed easier not to try than fail. But i wish i didn't give up. You're a clever girl, don't give up...take a deep brath and realise that you can/will do better tomorrow!

I used to copy essays. taking bits and pieces from everywhere. Changing a word here and there so it makes sense.

Heh, I always do essays the night they're due but sometimes I just choose not to turn in something like a lab report and tank like 5-10% of my class grade instantly.

Failing at something does not make you a falure. I used to be an extreme perfectionist. The thing that helped me the most was to just practice writing essays. You will eventually find a strategy that helps you write something that is good enough. My strategy is to write my essays in really short paragraphs that I can rearrange and glue together to create a complete essay. This works for extremely detail-oriented people like me. I don't know if it would work for you, but there are many different possible strategies to experiment with!

And then of course, your anxiety gives you an unrealistic view of what is good enough. Try to be aware of that.

Don't they have tutors in your school? I'm not sure how old you are or whether you're in college/university or high school, but I know there are free tutors in the US that help people with any subject they need help with. They might have something similar in your country. One grade is no reason to drop a class. I've gotten F's on exams before & then gotten B's & C's as a final grade. Don't give up so easily

You can try free writing. Just keep writing. Doesn't matter if it's not perfect because perfect doesn't exist.
