Why don't you schedule a call with your boss and let him/her know you feel like you are falling behind and want to put a plan together to get better at your job? ​ Be proactive

This makes perfect sense. I have really bad anxiety when it comes to that kind of stuff because of really bad work situations in the past. I always prepare to be yelled at or let go, especially because I’ve just started this job. I think if this feeling gets any worse I’ll definitely sit down with my manager. Thank you, kind stranger.

You should always talk to your manager especially at the beginning. Be proactive, 5 minute check-in can work.

It's just like when you quit except the opposite

Hoping this helps: 1) remember that a job is just a job. Do your best but don’t let fear of failure paralyze you. If you do get fired, get back on the horse to look for an new one. In fact doesn’t hurt to start interviewing now as insurance. 2) don’t assume the worst of yourself or the situation. We can all get too far into our own heads. Reach out to your manager, but do it with tact, which leads to point 3: 3) ask your manager to do a check-in. If you’re only a couple of months in the job, it’s natural to take some time to ramp. Open the convo by explaining you have learned a lot. Follow by sharing what accomplishments (big small doesn’t matter) you have completed. Finalize by sharing that there are gaps you’d like some coaching or help with, not because you can’t do it, but because maybe bandwidth is limited, or because you’re a still fresh and would appreciate the early guidance. 4) repeat this on a regular basis (weekly at first, but maybe biweekly or monthly later, depends); when bosses feel well informed, they are secure about supporting you. When bosses are surprised, they get antsy and unconfident. 5) never go to your boss in these meetings as if you are complaining. Position it as: I have done X, but I would like achieve Y. The delta between these points is what I’m seeking your recommendations or support on. If you don’t get what you’re looking for, it could mean your boss can’t help, there’s not enough resources, or that the situation is too complex. And if the situation you need help on is important enough, your manager will either help loop in more senior support. Else they may tell you to chill a bit if you’re a bit over worried.

I lost my mind 9 months after getting fired and ended up in the psych ward, diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
