Tired of Being Nervous and Anxious

Hello All,
I am the mombear and I have had problems with nerves/anxiety all my life. I absolutely hate it and wish with all my heart to be "normal" like others I see. A lot of the time I am fine and have no problems but when things are not going quite right I turn into a mass of anxiety/nerves. Stomach cramps, diarrhea, not eating, flat affect, etc. Right now I have started a new job one month ago. I had no one to train me as the girl who was the other worker went into the hospital so I basically had to train myself and naturally I have made some mistakes. The manager of the dept is very nasty and does not seem to be very understanding even though he has stated himself he knows nothing about the position I have and what is done. I made another mistake last week and now I'm obsessing over going back to work tomorrow and listening to him tell me how dumb I am. Not in so many words but you know what I mean. What makes it worse is I work for doctors and though they are nice, if I make a mistake they run right to him and squeal. I have done everything they have asked of me and more. Am I wrong to think it's normal to make mistakes on a new job especially when I've really had no training. Can somebody just give me some encouragement or a big e-mail hug. I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks for reading and Happy New Year.
