Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I have started a new job in catering. Although I have been in catering for 30 years, I am struggling with the new job. I panic all the time, asking what goes in this dish and what goes in that dish. I feel the staff think I am thick, but nothing is sinking in to my head.
I have been there for two weeks and feel I have blundered by leaving my old job. I have not eaten for over a week, because my stomach is in knots all the time. I panic when orders come in.
I had depression not long ago and I feel it has come back, I have lost a lot of weight and I am quiet around my friends and family.
The pay is better than before, but I feel that I won't be able to take in all the requirements of the job, and I feel they will get rid of me. Help!
