I've also thought of going on disability but after looking at the numbers, it just doesn't pay the bills, it barely covers rent or mortgage payments. I know everything in your body is screaming "Don't go! Quit!" and coming from someone who has quit almost everything she's started (me), please don't. Quitting temporarily feels good, but then it turns into an ugly feeling of self-disappointment and it snowballs into more fear and more self-doubt and less confidence. Think of it this way - if you mess up really bad, what's the worst that can happen? They fire you? GREAT, that's when you can leave and collect unemployment until you find another job. But quitting doesn't do anything except provide very temporary relief. So go into it every day with that mindset "I deserve to be here just like everyone else. I have a right to be here just like everyone else. I am allowed to mess up and make mistakes, I'm new and I'm not perfect, no one is. Even my boss makes mistakes and my coworkers make mistakes. People here appreciate me, and like me, otherwise they would not have hired me among the fifty other applicants. I'm allowed to mess up and learn and grow. This is a good opportunity for me. I am strong and I deserve to be here and get paid for my needed skills."
