I could have written this post almost exactly. I have a couple of previous posts here in the forums about it. But, I left a job in March that I had been at for 5 years and I left because I had a supervisor that was very difficult to work with and was causing me to be very anxious and depressed. I took the summer off and started a new job in September. It was a job in the same industry as I had been in before, but it was an entirely new line of work. Training me up to a proficient level for my job has been a somewhat slow and frustratng process. I'm only working part-time (I attend college full-time) which is a bit of a hurdle because I'm being held to the same expectations as a full-time employee, which I don't think is entirely fair, but okay. The employees assigned to train me are very, very busy and have had a difficult time trying to perform their job duties and trying to train me, as well. Now I'm getting close to getting my 90 day review and according to managment I'm way behind in my training and need to get up to speed fast. I didn't ask if there was an "or else", but now I'm obssessing over work and feeling really stressed out as a result. My anxiety has been flaring up again in a big way and I've been losing what little self confidence I may have gained over the summer. Feelings of failure and futility are starting to become constant again.

And I really am at a loss at what to do, but I did contact my college's counseling center. I'm going to see if I can get in to see a counseler and see if they can help put some of this into perspective and it could be that I need to go on antidepressants again. I could just be too stressed out with a full course load, a part-time job, and winter starting (I get SAD, too).
