I’m in a new job and feel so lost. It’s slightly outside of what I did in the past and I constantly feel overwhelmed by everything. I feel extremely stupid and keep thinking of all my past failures and I think I’m failing at this job. I’ve been in this job for 2 months and just don’t feel confident about myself or my knowledge anymore.

Congrats on the new role! Don’t be so hard on yourself. I think we all struggle with imposter syndrome at some point in our careers, especially in new roles. Maybe set expectations with your manager / team if you feel comfortable letting them know you may need to schedule additional time to speak with them for context as you’re getting up to speed.

I never feel comfortable with a job until at least 6-7 months. It’s only month 2 — be gentle on yourself because you’re still learning and trying your best.

Has anyone dealt with a therapist not being able to see you (virtually) while you are temporarily located in another state? I’m struggling with coordinating my work and when I’ll be in my home state with my sessions because apparently I can only be seen when I’m physically in my home state. Are there different types of lisences I should look for that would allow someone to treat me while traveling? It’s all very confusing…

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
