No confidence
Anyone else feeling like they have no confidence? I'm at a new job and I feel so dumb and embarrassed, I don't have any confidence whatsoever. Feels like I'm doing everything wrong.

I struggle with this as well and also with low self esteem too. You are not alone
Yeah ocd took my confidence and self esteem too. I hate it
Def are you in ERP? The maybe maybe not technique has really helped me with this.
Yeah I am. I will bring this up with my psychologist
I feelbl that way all the time at my job, but like I have schooling, all my bosses tell me I'm valuable, im fast, I retain information like a sponge, constantly am doing Good, but constantly and always worried and questioning myself at work, if it's even actually enough and it more than 100% is, it's very confusing
Yeah my new boss is telling me im doing a good job but I still keep questioning myself.
@lmls1305 Try to over think about it to much, I think about it this way, if the bosses or any higher ups aren't saying anything, then your 100% fine, usually the people who complain about nothing are the actual people that you work with, not the bosses
@lmls1305 Try to not overthink*
@IWeldDaily Well thing is with ocd I just always overthink things
I feel like I can’t explain anything to anyone and feel so dumb. I feel like everything that comes out of my mouth doesn’t make sense sometimes. I tried explaining what a vendor was about and couldn’t explain it and fear that I could get fired or won’t be able to move up because of this. I can’t explain things and hate explaining things. I don’t know how to get better and don’t know how to not feel stupid and feel like I have a purpose in this world. I feel like I don’t provide value for my job or at least my new manager who just got hired doesn’t see it and won’t because she’s really tough and doesn’t understand. She’s too blunt and very rude sometimes. I also feel so anxious 24/7. I feel like I need to workout but don’t have the motivation to and just want to be in my bed because I’m exhausted after work and during the weekend. Boredom sucks too. I wish I had someone who could be there for me wish I had a significant other. I don’t like exposure therapy and it’s not working at all. I tried it for a while. Same with Acceptance Respond Therapy.
I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain
I’ve been my job for almost 2 years now and I can not shake the constant worry that I am going to do something to mess it up. I’m constantly checking things over and over to make sure they’re correct to the point where I almost don’t believe my own eyes anymore. Everyday I go home with something to be anxious about. Today me and a coworker got in a bit of a tiff and I can’t stop thinking about it (even though I was totally right to be upset 🤣) everyday I play out fake scenarios that may happen because of what I said or did. Occasionally I will worry if I had written something inappropriate on the work I turn in. There’s no amount of reassurance that can make me stop worrying and I’m not sure what to do anymore. I’m new here and would love some suggestions!
