If you like the job, stick with it, but keep an eye on your anxiety and stress.

Btw, that lady is giving you bad advice and just trying to scare you into giving up. My guess is she'll show up whenever you're doing well. Don't let her get to you.
Initially she did scare me, but the more I opened myself up to her wanting my attention, the more i started to understand why she was there. actually, i told my therapist which scared her off but I asked her to come back, that I wouldn't hurt her (not that he did, she just read what he was doing wrong) and now i feel i have a grip as to her purpose in my life. hopefully! its funny how i am feeling anxious, but then this makes me feel so unbelievably excited about going to work tomorrow!
Thanks for this!
