And yes that would help with anxiety. But the thing is I do VERY VERY poorly with any type of assigned responsibility. I can't relax when the material I'm working on has been assigned to me and or others might be depending on it. That's when I panic. I feel this crazy pressure to 'get it' right. If I were on my own I'd have fun messing around with it and would probably learn twice as much doing things wrong, looking it up etc, but then learning the right way. I can't relax enough to do that when it's assigned material.
