I feel lost and confused at this new job. Everything is completely different. My managers are nice and are training me well. I wish I was as fast as them. At my old job it took me a long time to get speed. I felt confident doing things at my old job and could do them with speed. This is really hard for me being the new person. I have to get it within 45 days what happens if I don't then I will get fired and it will devastate me. I have worked 3 day so far. At the end of the week they will give me a review Im REALLY SCARED that coworkers and managers don't like me and are irritated with me. I don't feel like drinking at all I just needed to vent.

Try to ease up on yourself. You're just creating more stress that you don't need. Do your best and be satisfied with it.

Glad you vented. Only 3 days - there's still plenty of time to improve. I'm slow at learning new things too - but I usually end up fine. I'm glad you realize drinking wouldn't do a thing but add more stress. Try not to be discouraged & keep posting.

Don't be so hard on yourself , no one could learn a new job in 2 weeks .

I was miserable in my long marriage,
miserable living in a state I didn't want
to be in. So I prayed often, Thy Will Be
Done and lived my recovery program,
holding on for dear life. Please Dear
Lord, if it be Thy Will, I want to go back
home.

So I put in applications for a Bank Teller
which I use to do for a short time back
in the day. Before everything became
computerized. Low and behold, my prayer
was eventually answered in His time and
I got my ticket and way back home.

I got the job, my apt. and went to training.
Here I thought I was set to live and support
myself with a good paying job, but.....at 50
yrs old, times in banking has changed since
the 1980's and learning was slow and so was
fitting in with some of the young employees
at the branch I was to work at.

Anyway.....I didn't make it at that job and
panic city set in. What was I to do to pay
my apt. rent and bills? So I began applying
at different things, still praying and then
it happened where I was hired in a local
bakery. I was ecstatic.

See.....getting the teller position was ONLY
my TICKET to get back home where I wanted
to be forever and that was it....nothing more.

It wasn't meant for me to remain a teller
and I understood that.

My recovery program and Faith has kept
me in place and has provided for my every
needs as exactly as It is need to be each day
im sober.

Just sharing my own ESH - experience,
strength and hope with ya and hope all
works out just as it's suppose to be.

I've had the same feeling in every job I've had; I was terrified to make a mistake or forget anything and would even carry a notebook around jotting things down. :P They wont expect you to be as good as them but they will expect you to be keen to learn, which you are. In 45 days you will have 15 times the experience you have now!

The first few weeks at any new job are always stressful. You're feeling anxious - welcome to the club, you are like 99% of other people who have just started a new job! It's totally normal to feel this way.

One thing I did when I started my new job 6 months ago was to take it day-by-day, just like recovery. Instead of worrying about the future, I was going to do the best I could...today. Relax, and do what you can tomorrow to help accomplish the tasks that are asked of you. So far, you've made it through 3 days, that's great! One day at a time, you'll make it!

I remember being scared of the phone when it rang, or being scared of when the doorbell rang, or getting mail. This all passes in time, if you work at it, day after day after day. Its actually quite simple, but indeed it is very hard.
