If you studied as hard as you could without going berserk, then you shouldn't be ashamed. You get off the ground, dust yourself off, and head back in to have another go at it. Or take another path and find a different way to get success.

Also, the kinds of things she's screaming at you for aren't solved by screaming. Her behavior sounds like someone buying a lottery ticket, finding out they didn't win, and screaming at everyone and everything just because of that. No one is perfect and what someone considers "perfect" is totally flawed to someone else.

From where I'm sitting, it sounds like the real, core problem is she focuses more on the problems and the failures instead of the positives and successes you've accomplished. When was the last time she complimented something you did or congratulated you for doing well?
The irony in that lotto analogy because when she found out she hadn't won the lottery even though she bought a ticket from the store that actually won she was sooooo mad.

Umm... the last time I can recall was when she found out I got a couple commissions back in June, but she later yelled at me for not getting any more so. ^^; Other than that maybe some minor stuff like thanking me for bringing in the trash or carrying stuff in from the car.
