    I recently hit the four-month mark at my new job, and I have to admit, I'm feeling really overwhelmed. I've been in this career field for less than a year, and while my team is incredibly supportive and wants to see me succeed, I can't shake this feeling of spiraling. Our clients are quite picky and don't seem to have much patience, which I understand given their investment, but as someone who's still learning, I know I'm not perfect. I struggle to connect with clients, and it often feels forced, which adds to my anxiety. Despite recognizing that this position is a great opportunity, I often feel like an imposter who doesn’t deserve to be here. I've received negative feedback from clients over minor issues, and it feels like I can't do anything right. The team is close-knit, and I know they are aware of any negative comments directed at me, which makes me feel like I’m under constant scrutiny. The pressure is intense, and I worry that I'm becoming a liability. I sometimes fantasize about quitting just to escape the stress, but then I remember the reality of job searching and how much I would regret leaving without a safety net. Overall, I'm really unhappy and feeling like it's all my fault.
