“If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” - Mary Pickford

“You can’t do anything right!”
I keep hearing it in my head.
I have this thing where when I make a mistake I take it a little too personally. I don’t like making mistakes. I don’t like feeling helpless and out of control. It eats up my confidence, and makes me a paranoid, nervous wreck.
Recently, I started a new job working at a bank’s call center. You know, when you ring a bank’s 0800 number, I’m one of the many people who answer your call. Coming in to this job I thought it would be easy. I mean, how hard can it be answering a call, right? Well, I was terribly wrong. Training commenced and I had to learn about the systems I’d be using and the products and services I’d be providing. Don’t get me wrong, the learning bit was very easy for me. I even won a trophy for being the best all-around person in the class (or something like that). It’s the application that’s got me stressing out.
It’s been 3 weeks that I’ve been on the phones taking calls and so far I’ve made a couple mistakes. I know that everyone makes mistakes and that people expect trainees to make even more mistakes. But I just don’t like being one of the people who makes those mistakes. It makes me second-guess myself and soon after I’ll just end up doubting myself, my knowledge, and my skills. Then it’ll go downhill from there. Now I just think that everything I do is wrong, I’m gonna end up getting tons of complaints and will soon be fired. I know this isn’t healthy and I should just get over this feeling, but I can’t. Now, I wake up dreading to go to work because I’m so afraid I’m gonna mess up again. I feel like I’m disappointing and letting so many people down because I’m a huge failure.
In addition to my role as a customer service representative, I also have sales targets. These are also stressing me out. I always want to achieve targets and goals that are assigned to me. Just like when making a mistake, when I don’t achieve a target or a goal it makes me feel inadequate. I don’t know how I would possibly achieve those targets at the rate I’m going. I’m trying so hard to stay positive because I really want to do well in this job. But I just don’t like being one of the people who makes those mistakes.

I’m trying so hard to stay positive because I really want to do well in this job. But I think it’s taking its toll. I can’t sleep, and when I do sleep I dream of the stresses I feel when awake. I keep having conversations with myself in my head that I feel like I’m developing some sort of 2nd personality. I don’t know.
Sometimes I think maybe I’m just not cut out to work at a bank; maybe I should just quit and stay as far away from other people’s finances as possible. Then I think of the people I’d be disappointing and letting down, like the person who hired me, my trainers, my current teammates, and my manager. Then my conscience kicks in. So now I’m stuck working a job that makes my heart beat so fast from anxiety I feel like fainting. Stuck with this feeling of helplessness, and inadequacy.
Stuck fighting a battle with myself everyday.
