Maria,

You gotta calm down – this is not a checklist boot camp. Learn from your errors but dont drive yourself nuts about it – 2 occasions and you jump to such drastic conclusions? Please learn to relax – the point of mistakes is to teach you lessons to improve and not be indicators of your competence – you are competent and that is why you are there. Why punish yourself like this?

If you were your best friend, and she told you that these things happened, would you actually think of her mistakes the way you thought now? If you are so afraid to screw up, what will you ever learn?

Also, please check out Cognitive behavioural therapy – you will be able to able to identify some distorted thoughts processes –

1) All for nothing thinking
2) Emotional reasoning

Secondly, you really need to start meditating regularly – calm your mind down – be kinder to yourself.

If everyone were as perfect as you think they should be, the entire economy’s workers would have quit and sat at home. People make mistakes, bloomers and so do you. Big deal, you’re cool the way you are.

Dont blow this out of proportion!
