I can totally relate Katie, i hate doing anything that would make me come across as been a failure. when i was struggling at college due to severe depression and was getting about 3-5 sleep a night and pretty much on my feet for the rest of the time! I would just keep going and going and going , going to college working a 4 hour shift in a resturnt after a 9 hour day at college etc and i would just carry on looking knackered day in day out until i got ill and picked up a bug ,which .. happened quite a bit or i would just skip a day of college try to get some rest and the next day do the same again.
Though even now i struggle with accepting that everyone goes through times when they need a rest or something like that. though i could say that i was a victim of bullying which could link into me thinking that certain thinks i do are weak.
