Good for you, Lark. This could be a combination of an anxiety problem and you not being a morning person. I can relate to that. Some people really do just feel absolutely lousy for the first few hours of the day. I'm inclined to be that way, and no doctor could explain it to me. But it can be overcome. If you get into a routine of getting up at a set time and kick off the day with a shower followed by something to eat, it does get easier.

The dream shows that you really do have anxiety about this job, but also that you'ld like to keep it. I always say to give a job six months. At the end of that time period, you'll be amazed at how much anxiety will leave you and you get into a comfort zone of feeling capable and confident. It changes your whole world.

Keep that positive attitude about wanting to be busy and useful. Believe me - it gets noticed, as you are already finding out. Nobody wants to fire a cheerful, willing worker. Succeeding at this can be the foundation for a lot of things going right in your life.
