Today, I'm thinking of quitting the awesome job I love with coworkers I adore, because I keep fucking up every part of my job, making them pick up the pieces and correct my failures. They don't deserve this. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, everything I touch goes wrong or into the trash. Whatever I do at work, I screw up somehow (in new ways every time) and get blamed. I worked for months on something, only for it to be scrapped. I just feel like I should give up on everything, including life. FML
Today, all my coworkers are incompetent and I'm constantly fixing their mistakes. I've tried to help them to make fewer mistakes. They don't care. I've tried talking to their supervisors. They don't care either. I've been escalating matters step by step. I finally talked to the CEO about it. He doesn't care either. FML
Today, I'm ruining my own life by being incredibly lazy at my new job. It scares me, as my family is dependent on my income, and I love this job too. Why am I always on self-destruct mode? I really want to snap out of it and be hardworking like so many others I know (including my husband). FML
Today, I'm ready to quit my job, because every time I've asked for a raise, it's gotten brushed over, every time there's a change in the schedule, I cover my lazy coworkers' jobs for them. My boss doesn't see anything wrong with this, so I'm actively looking for a new job, it's time to leave. FML
Today, my co-workers and I have to fight for our jobs because of a mistake our managers made. They get to keep their jobs. FML
Today, my co-workers decided in our meeting with my boss that everything is my fault. When asked for examples, they couldn't come up with any. Now they are mad at me, because I'm apparently good at my job. FML
Today, it yet again feels like everyone at my job hates me. I'm doing almost everything they do with two people on shift, while I have the solo shift, but I'm constantly told I'm not good enough. I just wanna be happy again. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Today, I can't afford to lose my job but I've been consciously sabotaging my job for months now. My manager pulled me aside to let me know that I am untrustworthy and need to improve. I'm smart and have no idea why I'm doing this to myself. I had a great work ethic in my previous job, even winning awards for it. FML

Have you asked them to assist you in learning about what you are screwing up? Most people are willing to assist if you ask, as long as you are sorta grasping it at least

Are you actually messing up in every aspect of your job or is that the anxiety talking? And if you are genuinely messing up, are you actually unable to improve or just anxious and panicky? If your coworkers didn’t think you were capable of learning they would not be as gracious as they seem to be from your post. Take a deep breath. Pick one process of your work and ask a coworker to walk you through it. Take copious amounts of notes, ask dumb questions, the whole deal. Then try and focus on mastering that one process first. If you mess up, ask if the coworker can explain exactly how and what you can do better. Then once you’ve got that part under control, repeat the process with the next part of your duties.

I have done what I do for over a decade. trained a dozen people in various areas of my trade, been the most experienced in the shop and the one ******* everything I do up... sometimes on the same day. the fact is you will continue to mess up, but if you love what you do and where you work, you will eventually mess up less often and eventually be good, or at least ok at what you do. Big note, if they actually enjoy working with you they probably don't actually mind fixing your mistakes if you are good to work with and legitimately trying to get better at it.

Hang in there until you pull your head out of your ass or they fire you. You can get unemployment benefits if you're fired, but not if you quit.
