I have totally the same issue. And the stakes keep getting higher for I am now in a doctoral program at one of the best music schools. I never thought I could get this far, and yet I keep pushing and pushing, and my health just keeps getting worse and worse. Last week I decided, health first, hope it lasts. Take care racer.

Well, obsessing about grades certainly ain't no attractive habit, is it? So it's not only distressing for me, but it's totally counterproductive, too.
