Perfectionism is ruining my life. It's something I've always struggled with in retrospect, but I've gone back to college this year in particular and I can never get anything in on time, even if everything is practically ready. One of my most recent assignments I had everything done but typing it up, days ahead of the submission date, but I ended up spending that time utterly frozen, with my fingers hovering over my keyboard because the words just wouldn't come out 'right', until I ended up throwing something together just before submissions closed, after which point it was already late. I struggle to even send emails to tutors looking for help because I'm afraid I'll say something stupid. Worst of all is how supportive and encouraging all my friends are - they have no idea that practically everything I've submitted has been late or that I don't know how I'm doing because I'm too afraid to look at any of my feedback on what I have submitted. They just keep telling me how proud of me they are and how well I'm going to do and I feel like they're expecting something of me I've already failed to deliver which makes me feel like I shouldn't even bother anymore. Would looking into therapy or cbt or something help?
