Why do I get so worried all the time?
I am Cyber schooled, have fine grades, and not much to trouble me. There is so much to keep up with in school, though, and I have been doing fine until just a week ago when I thought I took a test but I didn't. It closed down and now I can't take it with out the teacher giving me a password. It is such a small test, only 7 points! It didn't even drop my grade from an A! Still, I am so worried and anxious that I have not been eating much or doing much. Maybe I am obsessed with school? I don't know, but something is wrong.

"Why do I get so worried all the time?"
Because you are a perfectionist and hate to fail at anything. You believe that if you miss the test, even though it is not worth all that much, you have failed in some way. Failing at anything is a part of life and a character builder. Get used to it.
You need to keep things in perspective and not "self-will" anxiety upon yourself. By the sounds of it you are quite used to success and now something comes along that is really no different than getting a zit on your face. Rather than see that it is only a small blemish that really does not upset the course of your life and your overall looks, you allow yourself to become obsessed with just that small zit. Start focusing more on the larger picture and simply accept that there will the occasional pot holes in life or in this case little disappointments.
