Self inflicted stress

I think I like to put myself into some kind of stress related to school or whatever. I do something and want it to be perfect to the point that I stress myself out. It's probably not a good thing. But what I have noticed is that I write more often when I'm stressed. But then writing brings my stress level down, but I still want to write. So I'll stress myself out again, then write, then stress, then write. It's probably not healthy. But whatever. I'll go on grinding my teeth and wearing myself down for the love of words.
