Can't handle stress

[cupcake22]

I am starting a new job with a lot of responsibility and an overwhelming workload. I am so afraid of failure and I do not know how to handle the pressure and stress. I have failed in the past, and now I fear I may be unable to do this career at all. I am anxious and can't eat or sleep well. I am almost 30, but feel like I am reverting back into a child. I miss my family and living at home with no responsibilities. I moved out a month ago, but cannot adjust to this new life. I need help!

What you're doing is a very tough thing. But you'll gradually learn to get through. Give yourself a little time, take slow baby steps and don't get too judgmental about yourself. You'll need all your strengths to face the situation so don't let your judgments about yourself wear you down.
