So I have been having a really hard time. I work as a writer and sometimes get a lot of edits and feedback, and it makes me feel incompetent when I get them.

I know I’m new to this position and also am recovering from major surgery and had to take a week and a half off last month. 

My boss hasn’t said anything about me being in trouble, but I still get really nervous especially before meeting them. 

I’m also learning from my mistakes, but every so often I make the same one without even realizing it. My friends and co-workers always compliment my work and tell me I’m doing well, but my boss isn’t always upfront about complimenting my work.

I just would like to hear I’m not alone in being scared. I’m so scared to lose my job and be back to job hunting again especially cause I like the company a lot that I work for. Do other people make dumb mistakes and still stay employed?
