New job

[lukas01]

I have recently started a new job which was lass Wednesday, I’m on sertraline to help with my anxiety tomorrow is the last day as it runs out. I’m not sure what to do because in my job I feel awkward about most stuff even when I have to live a pallet with a pump truck I’m scared I’ll make a mistake and people would look at me like an idiot. I’ve recently turned 20 and many things I’m struggling with I don’t know how to be confident at things and just do things comfortably and confidently because I feel I’ll make a mistake and I’ll be judged. The person I work with gets frustrated at me when I make mistakes even though he repeats of what to do and I still make the same mistake there are moments when I have to count up to 20 products to put in a bag and I forget how many I put in the bag which makes me very frustrated I just feel like a failure I don’t think I’ll be able to live a happy life even though I’m undiagnosed with autism I’m waiting for an appointment but I’m losing hope I don’t think I will ever be happy because everyone seems to be normal and there’s just me an idiot who can’t do basic things on top of that I may be dyspraxic due to my coordination which makes my life 10x worse what have I done to deserve this why can’t I just live my life to the fullest and be happy and confident. Please help me

It's kind of funny, we all worry so much about what others think of us. Meanwhile, everyone is usually so busy with their own stuff they're not worrying about the stuff that seems to bog us down.

Is it possible you could get with a physician that could offer medication more regularly?

[Hidden in reply to lukas01]

No one is normal and everyone is normal. We all make mistakes.

Confidence comes with experience.

You can do this. Wake up daily. And tell yourself I can do this. I am good enough. Read or watch the video for your job. Practice will make perfect.

Focus on going to work on time. Do the job. And go home and get a few laughs.

Everyone else at work might be thinking cool what a nice young man working hard. We Donot know peoples thoughts.

I have anxiety so bad performing in front of my classes for projects it’s so dumb. Everyone I feel is laughing at my stupid project. I can’t breath and I feel like I’m dizzy and passing out. I can’t find words to say and then I look up and Boone it’s really even looking at me ahahahha. Abs the weird thing is at my brand ambassing job people stop and star to hear me and I’m all confident that’s why they looking.

When you were younger you performed sowmthing. Maybe not well. You became self conconscious during a time or something. Retrace your steps. Build new memories of mistakes and excellence abs be kind to yourself no matter what the out come is. No matter peoples opinion or mistake you make. We all make mistakes and we all get better at some stuff and some stuff not.

Hi! 22 here and I also had the same issue with my job. You can do this!! You can do anything you put your mind to. It’s great you even have a job in the first place when you have anxiety. It was difficult for me to even find one in the first place because of my anxiety so good job there!!

Someone mentioned about retracing your steps. Take your time. It takes getting used to. Definitely tell yourself before going into work that you can do this and that you’re worthy. Remember it’s normal to make mistakes, no one is perfect. Message me anytime if you need someone to talk to

Lukas, have you considered speaking with your Human Resources department? The reason I mention this is that depression/anxiety is now considered a qualified disability. The HR department is supposed to help protect you and your job. An article I read recently stated "The good news is that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may offer some help. If you work for a private employer with at least 15 employees, your employer may not discriminate against employees with disabilities. Mental and psychiatric conditions often qualify as disabilities. And, if you have a disability, your employer must provide reasonable accommodations that will allow you to do your job." Here is a link to the entire article: disabilitysecrets.com/resou...
