I'm starting a new temp job tomorrow, it's probably only gonna last for a couple of weeks, and I am so nervous I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I'm not taking my Ritalin because every time I take it I crash and start crying uncontrollably. I haven't taken it over the weekend and I still can't stop crying. I'm so scared I'm gonna have a crying jag at work. Financially, I'm screwed, my daughter's starting college next year and I'm so scared she won't be able to go. I know I should be lucky just to have a job for a little while, but I feel like I'm coming unglued and don't want to lose it. Thanks for listening to me vent, whew!

sounds like you're worrying a lot about this new job and that won't help anything.

take a deep breath and just get up in the morning and do things at a pace you can cope with

Well, I started the new job and I like it, still nervous because this is a temp job and I could get hired permanently depending on job performance, so the pressure's on! It's data entry and very tedious work, which you would think would be bad for an ADD-er, but I enjoy it, I don't have to deal with talking to people on the phone, which I hate. Keep your fingers crossed for me, guys!
