Advice on handling shame and embarrassment?

iamspooked

I recently started a new job, and have already had lots of issues and have had to ask for help multiple times. Every day I constantly reflect on each instance I needed support and feel so much embarrasment and shame. I feel so stupid all the time and I can't stop thinking about it. 

I haven't been diagnosed yet but I am on the waiting list - so I haven't discussed this with my employer and don't want to as I have already given her so much trouble and don't want to make her regret hiring me. 

(I am currently in between therapists, so I will have more support soon but not at the moment)

  • What's your boss like? Have they given you a specific reason to think you're trouble? 

    I've managed staff and I expect people to ease in slowly. No job is learned over night and everyone needs help when they first start. It would be a poor boss who didn't know and expect that. I positively respect it when people ask for help. It means they are keen and want to learn.
