Hello, I'm new here. I made a course in 1 year approximately about: computer repair technician. I saw a little about: concepts, networks, format PC, recognize pieces of motherboard, ... I was in traineeship 3 months (before that time I had some experience with format computers, delete a virus, fix some problem -software and hardware-).

During that 3 months I was lost because I thought that repair computer was only format PC and change some pieces (at basic level, I was wrong...). I felt bad because for example I had to check or change some piece inside a computer and I had fear to break it, I broke for example a graphic card (I connected it wrong) and 2 or 3 Hard Disk (the connector was damaged and burnt it).

The worst thing in that period is that I was thinking all day in my house for example: What is the problem with X computer? (And all day looking for a solution for that problem), or I said "tomorrow when I go to work I will see the ****ing computer again without fix yet" (the worst for me, for example: weeks with the same computer without solution it was stressful), or the computer had other new problem (it happened to me sometimes, it's terrible). THEN I stopped to do exercise, go out with my friends, I had worst family relationships. I was really bad.

After all that I started to drink alcohol (I felt better more confident to work and I forgot the problems) and to eat more more junk food. Result: I started to loss hair, physical problems,...

Finally I finished my traineeship and my life returned to normally: I stopped of think all day, I started to do exercise, go out with my friends, better family relationships.

I don't want go through all this again, I need tips. How can I disconnect from work? How can I get confident and relax (without drink alcohol)?

At present I don't work, only format PC, clean virus, some software and hardware problems. And when a person give me a PC to check or change some complex piece inside a computer I feel fear to broke it and I start to remember bad experiences that I had, and I say "sorry but I can't do it".

ALL MY PROBLEMS CAN SUMMARIZE in: when I have big responsibility I feel worse, for example: when the computer had other new problem it was my problem and I had to deal it (this responsibility cause me ALL PROBLEMS that I said).

All help is welcome , and please don't use a lot of complex words I'm not english
