University was supposed to prepare me for work – it did the opposite

I realized then that university hadn’t prepared me for the workplace at all.
My repeated failure to achieve the job’s expectations only left me feeling more and more isolated from colleagues and too nervous to speak up in meetings for fear I would be wrong.
Far from wanting to explore new challenges, I saw every opportunity as potential failures to avoid at all costs.
As the days and weeks passed, I’d find myself breaking out in a sweat as I reached the office, my heart rate increasing, terrified of what that day was going to bring. My anxiety affected my ability to concentrate, and errors started creeping into my work, which only made matters worse.
Stuck in a vicious circle, the voice in my head roared louder every day: ‘You are a failure. You are useless. Everything you do is wrong.’
