It is the upset talking, and the upset lies... You've done this before, and you can do it now. One day, one foot, one word in front of the other.
If the fear that the piece is going to be garbage is keeping you in place, don't judge the piece now. Wait until it's done. Ignore your instructor's comments until it's done. You can fix it then.
(My writing instructors gave me permission to suck. I have a certificate and everything! You have that permission too. Especially in first draft.)

Do what you need to do, and escape.
Good luck.
