Hi Gee, i think perfectionism has been hard for me and has triggered old feelings of insecurity and depression. i became clinically depressed in college, so i wonder if i'm relating to that in some way, too, even though i'm in such a different place now...
i haven't talked to dis. services, because my 'performance' has been good, so i figured i didn't need it. but maybe that's an arbitrary way to measure whether i do. i have another round of comp exams coming up next year and i might talk w/ my therapist about whether to ask for an adjustment in the timetable. the last qualifying exam, which i passed, was bloody awful nonetheless - so incredibly triggering! i definitely don't want to go through that again.
did you go through disability services? what kind of adjustment did you make if any?
