build ur confidence..
u juz have to forget bout d past.. stop dwellin in it.. and always tell urself to "MOVE ON"..
there’s heaps waitin ahead of u.. juz move on and leave d crap bhind u..
If that’s not d right job, then fair enough quit it.. get another.. Get sth which suits ur skills etc and which u love it.. most important of all is U ENJOY UR JOB.. happiness!
Due to such fear, lack of confidence, anxiety n stuffs.. it’ll drag u down even more if u think more bout them..
Turn over a new leaf.. learn being OPTIMISTIC n HAPPY.. trust me.. such elements build a good aura and will attract good "stuffs",.. good luck and all..
Take a short break now.. go for a holiday refresh urself ur mind etc.. go learn bout new stuffs new cultures new places heaps .. go learn bout sth different unrelated to ur job.. sth very new n exciting..

U mite not know, such "new things" cud lead u to discover more of urself ur interest..

Also, learn deep breathings.. practise it often many times in a day for long period.. eventually ur mind gets well controlled n reduce anxiety.
Go for meditation too.. it actually helps.. or yoga..
Go for any soothing positive peaceful activities! u’ll be fine .. it’s all in d mind and heart

Just take it one day at a time. Don;t let your past job follow you into your present job. Pretend every day is a new day on the job.

Be meticulous in recordkeeping, managing the papers on your desk — let your thoughts march in formation.

And do not worry.

If you think this is NOT the job/career for you, take classes at night. If you don’t know what you want, take a class in something you LIKE — even if it has to do with a hobby.

All of this will help distract and motivate, you and put your brain in gear.

If the stress you are under is overwhelming, I would suggest going into another, much less stressful, line of work.

The Community Colleges have school to hire (direct hire) certificate programs–generally they don’t take a lot of time, and some can even be completed online.

I don’t know if THIS is it….but could it be a physiological/psychological thing like A.D.D? I’d often find myself getting into some really stupid oversights that got me into trouble when I was younger…turned out I was recently diagnosed with A.D.D. Since I’ve been on the medication, those kinds of oversights don’t happen with me anymore.

Just a thought.
