I've started being a perfectionist probably since I was in 6th grade, and now I'm in 10th grade. It used to make me feel great to know I had some of the best grades in school, and everyone was, to say the least, amazed and "WOW!" at my work, but now, it seems like schoolwork is controlling my life. I can't do things I used to do, like singing class, and TaeKwonDo. I just got accepted to a modeling/acting school, and it's been my dream since forever to become an actress, but I'm afraid that I'll be occupied too much with schoolwork to let that dream come true. Now, today, I cried because I can't find one of my English assignments that was homework over the weekend! I put it in my binder on Friday, and it was completely gone from all of my folders and everything when I checked last night! Most people don't feel this way, but for me, it's very hard to deal with, and it's all I've been thinking about all day! I don't want to be consumed with school anymore, but I still want to show my dedication and get good grades, while still doing the things I love. How can I accomplish that? I always get stress headaches and worry myself sick over these things, and I don't want to drive myself crazy anymore. Thanks for the help!
