TW rant, OCD, perfectionism, anxiety
I'm scared of being seen as stuck-up and someone who boasts but I'm terrified that if I do not achieve all the highest grades and do the best on every subject that I'm worth nothing. It's awful. I hate OCD as well, it just makes everything worse. I have to do everything specifically otherwise I get this deep feeling inside that something bad's going to happen, that it's going to affect everything that happens. I need the regularity because it's a safe haven but it's also almost like a curse because I can't break out of habits I know are going to get to me eventually. When someone else messes them up on purpose I can feel the rage build up, I need to hit something and let it out, but that's violent and people don't understand the need for it. It's everything I can to not rip up every single one of my sketchbooks, smash my guitar and break the strings, to pour tea all over my laptop, because it's just not right.
