So I finally start my part time job today. I figured that because I was so happy about it I would bypass anxiety/depressive thoughts. Of course I was wrong and should have realized there is no escape. I did not sleep very well last night (or have been for the past two weeks. I am averaging about 4 hours a night). I am sooo nervous that I am feeling sick. Normally I can shake these feelings but i am having a hard time.
I think that part of my problem might be that I have a very packed weekend ahead of me again. I have another concert to go to this Saturday and I am going fishing with my boyfriend and his dad on Sunday. Normally I would not mind but it seems like lately all we do is do something....That probably does not make any sense.
So anxious....

Good luck with your first day. Hope it was fantabulous! Changes make us anxious, even if they are positive.

Good luck on your first day! I just started a new job too and I was so scared, and I still feel nervous in the morning before I go, but things have turned out ok so far. Remember it's not as bad as you think it's going to be. That's what I tell myself every morning. Good Luck!

I just wanted to let everyone know that my first day went awesome. I really enjoy the job. While it does not pay much it is something and if nothing else it is getting me on a schedule which I feel I really needed. Right now I am only working about 10 hours a week, but at least it is enough to keep my cell phone from being turned off.
