Dear Phull,

I have a few questions for you to consider:

1. Did your anxiety begin before you started making mistakes or are you feeling anxiety because you are making mistakes?

2. You mentioned that you are accustomed to succeeding in your tasks. Could this comfort level be leading to your mistakes? Could it be that you are getting ahead of yourself and not focusing on the mundane details? I ask this because sometimes I get over confident and mess up, then I feel foolish when my mistakes are noticed bt others.

3. You mentioned that you feel unworthy of working with such highly intelligent people. Are these mistakes all that stands between your present situation and the success that you seek? If so, then by giving yourself some time and paying close attention to detail, I feel that you can grow out of this phase.

If I may also make a suggestion (something that I am working on myself): try to work at work at the end of the day. Try not to keep mulling over your mistakes once you leave work. Try to start each new day as a fresh opportunity to do better than the day before.

I have also recently joined Tiny Buddha but I have the people here to be wonderfully supportive. I hope you will find something on this sight that helps you.
