Hi I am new

[faraway]

Hi again! I just posted a 'thread' (?!) but I put it under general anxiety. I think I should have put it under 'introduce yourself'? I am on my own and feeling it, and wondering what on earth I can do to get me out of this mess I am in. I am off sick with work related stress - never been off sick with it before, although I have probably had it many times. But I am in a new and very demanding job, working on my own without support or proper training, and I just can't do it. I could do the no support thing if there was less pressure, I might have been able to do the pressure thing if only I had been given support and adequate training from the start (it's too late now - I feel utterly incapable) but I feel overwhelmed by both hitting me at once. I can't eat, I am looking at other jobs but feel the panic rising at the thought of applying for them, and as for getting to interview - oh help. But I have to work. And everything gets more expensive, and it is freezing today and I am cold. I would love to hear from others in similar situations just to know that I am not alone.
