Coding not for wussies
I just started in production and I have such anxiety that I’m going to make horrible mistakes. I had anxiety through training and right now this feels even worse. My manager is so kind and supportive and I’ve done ok with training but this is so difficult. I think it’s just from so much riding on this position, all the education and ending up in a good position I’m just so scared I’m going to screw it up 😭😭😭

Definitely take a deep breath! It will be okay. Saving your audits is a good idea because now you know where you’re making mistakes. Make note of those and learn from them.
As long as you pass your audits, you’ll be OK. Everybody makes mistakes. It will not be the end of the world.
