I have recently lost confidence at work. What can I do to get it back?

Question

I'm a psychatric nurse, there was an incident at work that I cant really talk about but it has effected me quite alot.

Answer 1

Y have you lost confidence ?

Well if something has happened that embarrassed you, or you ****** up on a piece of work, its normal for your confidence to drop, everyones does, h**l mine does when i **** up lol, but i'm the kind of guy who just forgets about it and moves on

Learn from your mistakes like I do and remember its normal to feel that way  

Answer 2

Talk to people and make an effort to do your best. I'm sure you will get it back.

Answer 3

you need to speak to a manager or human resources person. If you keep this bottled up it will only get worse.

Answer 4

find another job

Answer 5

What is your job? Is it something that requires quite alot of confidence? If so, remind yourself why they employed you in the first place- they obviously saw something in you which they were looking for & thought you must be capable of doing the job. Is there any particular aspect of your work that scares you the most? If there is then force yourself to do this 'scary thing' reguarly, then you'll see that its not so bad & that you can do it & gradually you will rebuild your confidence. Try making friends with your colleagues, maybe go for an after work drink with them on a friday? And if all else fails, remember that its only a job, not the end of the world & its prob just a passing phase, if your still not happy in a couple of months begin searching for a new one. Good luck =) x

Answer 6

What a stupid question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 7

Have a look down the back of your desk - it might have fallen down there.

Answer 8

I am not sure try making new friends.

Answer 9

i have myself but its due to me just being a slow learner. i get pissed at myself for not catching on faster but when i do i am feeling very confident. just try to make your job more family like. as if its you and a bunch of your best friends hanging out together but getting paid to do something. thats how i have done things.  

Answer 10

If you made a mistake at work apoligize for it and make up for it on your next project.  If you really messed up, apoligize and then don't bring it up again, just keep a low profile for a few weeks, people forget very quickly about others mistakes because they're too busy thinking of themselves.  

Answer 11

forget about every one there, go back to your happy confident self. befor you go to work do a little something nice to your self like hair or nails or buy a new top and bottoms and go into work telling yourself you are confidant and no one can mess with you  

Answer 12

Depends why you lost it.
