Does Anyone Else Have an Irrational Response to Making Mistakes at Work?

Hi everyone, I am a very laid back person. My mum and girlfriend say that nothing really bothers me. For the most part this is true, apart from one thing. I absolutely hate making mistakes at work. When I make a mistake at work this massive sense of self loathing comes over me. I tell myself I’m useless , pathetic. Even suicidal thoughts go through my head. My work don’t really seem to mind and they’re even putting me on a course to become manager but whenever we have a big project they give us really tight deadlines with so much work. I rush through the work and then make a mistake and then I spiral. Once I get in this state I can barely think, I just get so stressed. I try and tell myself it’s okay but it just takes over my body. Does anyone else have anything…


Hi everyone,

I am a very laid back person. My mum and girlfriend say that nothing really bothers me. For the most part this is true, apart from one thing. I absolutely hate making mistakes at work. When I make a mistake at work this massive sense of self loathing comes over me. I tell myself I’m useless , pathetic. Even suicidal thoughts go through my head.

My work don’t really seem to mind and they’re even putting me on a course to become manager but whenever we have a big project they give us really tight deadlines with so much work. I rush through the work and then make a mistake and then I spiral. Once I get in this state I can barely think, I just get so stressed. I try and tell myself it’s okay but it just takes over my body. Does anyone else have anything like this? Or am I the only one.
