    Dear redcar:

    Your fears: getting second strike, having one to go before getting fired. And paying for strike two. Your job allows for three mistakes. Maybe the person/s counting the mistakes will make a mistake and not count this one. That will be their mistakes. Often enough I avoided consequences for my mistakes because others made mistakes (It is amazing how often others make mistakes!)

    To err is human. It often causes anxiety to err. I am trying to REST a bit in the reality that mistakes are so very, very VERY common everywhere!

    Hello,

    I understand that it must be hard for you to worry about the future of your work as it is important to you. Because we can only change ourselves, we should work on that. People make mistakes like that all the time. It’s okay to feel the way you’re feeling. However, if you let the anxiety take over, then you will continue to be afraid of making a mistake and that may lead to another mistake. Just accept what happened and be confident in your work, that may make things better. Good luck!

    Hi anita and annie. It kind of snowballs when I panic. My boss calls me careless. I tell him that I really am concentrating everyday but mistakes still happen. My workplace is less forgiving I think because people keep drilling us to overperform. I am thinking of quitting but I dont know. Maybe my next job will be worse than my current job. So I stay.

    Hello Red Car,

    If you are really unhappy and have considered quitting, then maybe you should look into what your other options are. For now, I would work on decreasing the feeling of panic by meditating or whatever else works for you. There are some great meditation techniques on google. Being in an unhealthy/stressful environment can increase our anxiety and decrease our confidence. Do not be afraid of the future because it’s uncertain, be excited for the possibilities. What if your new job is the best job you will ever have?
