I broke the habit of perfect grades when taking microbiology. The professor had almost the whole class on benzos. This was before SSRI's. I had straight A's at the time. Well one morning I went to class and another older student had been up all night studying as she had to have an A. One look at how bad she looked and I said to myself. Okay this time I'll accept a B. I got my B barely the only B in college. She got her A the only A and crashed. So I learned That it was okay to accept less than a perfect grade. Oh I wasn't anxious or depressed at the time. But she showed me what could happen with perfectionism. Love Phillipa
