Please don't feel bad about being stressed out during the first two weeks of a job. It frequently takes me a couple of weeks to feel more confident at a job (I am in my 50s and have had a variety of jobs). I do better when I have a supervisor who says, "This is easy, here is how I do this. I know you can do this." Some jobs are just really stressful and you have to "fake it until you make it" and lay low if you can. Whenever I have had desk jobs I tend to write verbal instructions down, make lists, read manuels, emails and regulations when I have free time in order to try to figure out what I am supposed to do. I have been fired from a job. I can never work for that corporation again. If I had understood and treated my mental health issues, it may not have happened. It sounds like you are understanding what your issues are and that is going to help you in the long run. I am glad your mom is helping you! Don't give up. Getting fired does not mean you are a failure; either the job was a bad fit and/or they didn't give you good training support at the beginning.
Thanks for this!
