Can you try and see it in proportion now? You say you're a perfectionist, and you've identified the negative thoughts you're having. Could you work that out more fully and challenge them, e.g. by writing down each negative thought and then writing down a counter-argument.
For example:
"I'm always letting people down". "No I'm not. Sometimes I make mistakes, but that's human. And I'm trying to help out - that's definitely not letting people down! The printer working isn't my fault either"

Thanks for replying, it was a lot of help, and sorry my post was so whinging and self-indulgent! I didn't cut though, so at least it worked...
