Do people only really learn if they let themselves suffer from their mistakes?

I have slipped into a mode where I tend to avoid things again. If I feel like I don't want to do something I will make up some excuse or give up. For example, I was meant to be coaching tennis on tuesday night but I thought it was going to be difficult so I decided not to go. I felt worse for that decision in the end. And I didn't sleep much last night (about 4-5 hours) and I am feeling groggy as Hell... so I am tempted to stay at home like last week and avoid thursdays classes, especially because I have a presentation to do in the first class which I am nervous about. My excuse is that I can't function when I am this tired and I'll learn tons more for the exams if I get some sleep then use the revision materials I have at home that can't be accessed in the college. But I am disappointed in myself... I overcame an anxiety disorder from being courageous and now I am doing this :(
