Inadequate Person.

Pretty new. But I wanted to share about my over worry anxiety. I work at the best job. I know I do pretty great. My stats show me that and so do my customers. Yet I still freak out that I will lose the job every day. I freak if I think Ive made a mistake. Even when nothing is my fault. Logically I can see all of it but My head worries. Frantically. It starts small then drives into big problems. I get physically ill from worry sometimes. At times its nkt even if I will lose the job but I worry if people around me like me. I have this overwhelming need to be liked. But thats impossible. I know that. Not everyone I encounter is going to like me. I still have so much to learn. I hope to listen and help. I am becoming a new me and that starts with opening up.

Not inadequate at all. I spent much of my 40 year professional career feeling the way you do. Now as a retiree I know what a waste of energy it was. Don't blame myself for reeling that way but knowing it could have been better gives me drive to avoid those feelings now.

Stay hydrated. Be gentle with your thoughts, be kind, be soft. Use those to distract your usual pattern of thought. Best wishes.

I feel the same way as u do...the only thing that keeps me grounded is that I tell myself - people know I am efficient and I am doing my best when i clock in...and I know I will do my best when I clock out...I keep repeating that and doing my work...that has helped me a lot..and yes I try and stay focus on one thing at a time...u are so correct when u say that u have so much to learn...keep that as your motto and keep going...all the best
