I've started a new job . Been in it for about 10 months. it's something I'd trained to do long long ago- I took a career break for family reasons of about 10years or so (was working but in a completely different field) and have started back in my original calling now.
It's been very stressful, I've been made to feel incompetent and people, including my mentors have sometimes been quite condescending and sometimes plain nasty...I admit it's an uphill climb for me at the moment and I try and read up and prepare as much as I can do as to catch up with all those years..and I admit I'm not the brightest (yet) and do have plenty of catching up to do....but I've reached a point where I just want to drop it all, give it up as a bad idea and run as far away as I can. I'm so low and depressed right now, that I can barely think straight.im an intelligent person and have worked hard all my life and enjoy the work but the attitude of others is just bringing me down.
Should I chuck it all or should I get my teeth and keep my head down and power through this?
