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)

  • I have similar issues around work but I am 51 and never been fired from a job. We tend to really over think these things and think we are rubbish and likely to get fired any day. The reality is really not like that, do what ever is best for you to try and remeber things and don't let others put you off. Most people have a honeymoon period when starting a job, I would only really worry if you are 6 months in and struggling.
