Thanks for the replies. They're very much appreciated. As for the fear of failure, it's something I've delt with for many years--never being happy in the here and now. Just looking ahead about five years. I've found it to be a problem recently as when I first enter a new job. I don't have a grasp on the anxiety and my sleep and job performance are greatly effected. It seems like I'm so concerned with failing--not meeting (my own) high performance expectations in stressful jobs--that I'll quit the desired and hard earned job and walk away. Wow, that sounds ridiculous.
