Yes and no about the empathy from the doctor. The last doctor basically told me he knew what I was feeling. He'd gone to med school so he understand the pressure to get good grades and constant anxiety from high expectations and standards. That definintely hurt my cause!
I'm not really concerned about being perfect, or competing, or learnging everything, ect. I tend to ignore details and hardly ever push myself all that hard.
I lack of motivation from depression I believe, I've almost dropped out of school many many times when in deep depression beginning in the fall. I wasn't doing well due to poor concentration and effort. I didn't care at all whether dropping out of college would screw over my life. I've had to withdraw from several. Finally, after 5 years of struggling to make up from mistakes, I'm graduating.
I'm actually not a perfectionist way at all! I could be doing the simplest task ever with fairly relaxed responsibilities, yet still be a nervous wreck!
