Hey everyone
So i am new to this forum and about a year ago i was told that i have depression and anxiety. It is something that i have struggle with on and off but at the moment i am finding it quite hard to deal with. I'm just feeling that a part of my life doesn't feel secure and i do tend to worry about this more then i need to.

It's good that you know that particular farm a bit, @Farmchick. Is the work you'd be doing something you're interested in learning about? What makes you think you won't be able to do it well?

beautifully said @Sans911
@Farmchick did Sans911 explaination help you understand what she was talking about? do you resonate with what she has said?
do you like to take drives around the farm and help with the animals- do you find it helpful for managing your emotions?

The fact you care so much about doing a good job means even if you do make the odd mistake, your dedication will be worth so much more to them @Farmchick. Be easy on yourself, don't be afraid to ask questions or get feedback as you learn and you'll do wonderfully 
What's your favourite place at that farm, is there a water hole or hill where you love to spend time?
