Here for you. Hello, thank you for replying. Nothing really happened at all to be honest. I always constantly think I'm failing at everything I do. If I'm not on top or near the top of something (Motorsport and Athletics in this scenario) I instantly think I am a failure. And if I can't be good at the 1 thing I've done my entire life why shall I continue? But I never know what I would do. I would start breaking down in private over anything at the moment.

Heyy @Aces this sounds really tough and seems to be hurtful on your self esteem, I am sorry to hear that you go through this on a regular basis. You said that you constantly think that you're failing at everything you do, I wanted to check with you if it's just a thought or are you not able to actually meet a certain criteria for motor sports and athletics as you mentioned?

I always feel like im under performing. I've started falling off slightly and I don't know why. I train 5 days a week at the moment knowing that I am capable of doing what I want to be doing. I'm beyond meeting the criteria but it's just from winning stuff to coming 3rd etc is not what I expected especially when im doing everything the same.

It sounds to me that there are certain expectations that you've set for yourself and when they are not met it's putting you down and you're feeling disappointed, did I get that correctly?

Heyy @Aces, Sorry that it wasn't a good week for you. Would you like to talk about how school made things worse this week and what the argument was between you and others?
