I'm a university student with a part time job that I go to once a week, but my whole week is usually consumed by dread because of how scared I am to go to work.

This is especially true when I know my boss will be on the same day.

I think part of me is terrified of making mistakes: because I work in the medical industry, I feel like any mistake can potentially kill someone or ruin my entire career. Also, I have a huge problem with authoritative figures, so working with my boss just makes me so nervous that I severely underperform whenever I know she's there and I'll spend months ruminating on what I've done badly in front of her. It just feels so silly since anybody else would love to be in my position where I am so privileged to be studying and working in my dream industry, but I'm here ruining it for myself.
