How to combat lack of confidence & low self-esteem

Have left the cult 10 years ago now, but still suffer from feelings of low self-confidence & self-esteem. Recently started a new job and suddenly felt like I was back in the cult again with everyone looking at me & expecting me to do everything right & perfect! -I was so afraid to make a mistake and worried that I was going to fail in some way. I got so worked up about it that I developed severe back-pain and after a couple of months ended up packing in the job as I was so stressed out! I find it really hard to take any sort of criticism and I feel so bad if I can't get things right right away. Do you have any suggestions or help that can help me get over this?
