Having alot of anxiety right now
| Mon, 05-02-2005 - 12:04pm |
Hi Everybody! I am posting because I am feeling alot of anxiety right now. I am on disability and in order to make a few extra bucks I have been helping my Dad with work orders for his job. He sells carpet. Well, I have been in the healthcare field for about 8 years before I went on disability. I have no knowledge of carpet, vinyl or anything like that. I don't know what the hell I am doing and I don't want to do it. I feel like I have to. My Dad works a lot of hours and I'm really trying to help, but it is taking me forever to put the work orders in the computer because I don't know anything about the industry and he barely gives me any information, so I'm having to call him like 9 times a day to get it which is probably driving him crazy. I don't know what to do. In my normal state I could probably pull it off, but I have been in a mixed state for over a week now. I had someone come over and help me last night and she was as lost as I was and she went so quick that I don't remember what she told me now. I feel like such a loser that I cannot complete these simple tasks. What should I do???? I don't feel like I can do it.

Hello im val. i understand the part about not being able to do certain things. my DH wanted me to do something once and he had to explain it to me 4times in order for me to get it. its just the nature of BP. as far as your dad goes, explain to him your problem, im sure hes not gonna think any thing bad about you. you are new to this. when he explains write it all down and keep pumping him for info when you dont understand. hes your dad just talk to him about your fears about the job. i too was in the healthcare field for many years and its enough to drive anyone bonkers. sit down and talk to your dad im sure it will be okay.

Have faith in yourself. Things may be tough at first and in your current state, but you will get it. Keep trying.
