This sounds a lot like me. I have a disability that contributes to this. It's possible you could ask for accommodations to lower the pressure, such as async code reviews or something.

On a side note, what they put in the posting about being "fast paced" and stuff is almost always fluff. I don't know of any slow paced dev jobs, but the degree of pace doesn't seem to be correlated to the use of "fast paced" in the posting. It seems random.

I feel like I'll probably get fired and end up working at Walmart. Hope you have better luck.

Yeah I guess this is true about "fast paced". It's probably just a buzz word everybody uses. Thanks and I hope you are able to get over your anxiety too!
