Tomorrow is my first day at a new job. My anxiety is running high so I can’t sleep. I asked my T for help and all she gave me were breathing exercises and to not bother her until our session Wednesday or at least that is how my scattered brain took it. I could be wrong. Luckily I don’t have to be there until 9:30 so I have a little time to calm down. I hate that I can only go to therapy once a week not and there is still a chance I may have to change Ts to someone closer to the new job. I don’t do well with change and there are too many unknowns for my liking. I am a planner and not knowing what will happen tomorrow is driving up my anxiety.

I hope your first day at your new job goes well. I'm sorry that your T wasn't more helpful. Breathing exercises can help but sometimes it is not enough. I'm sure you are going to do great. Change is difficult and lots of people don't do well with change so know you aren't alone in that. I hope it all goes okay for you. HUGS Kit

Things went pretty well. I am trying to get through all these trainings I have to do. I also just realized I don’t have a trash can. It is funny how you take the little things for granted. Plus I have documents to read to catch up on my projects.

Only problem is this job requires many presentations and I spent my first 20 years avoiding them. I have a real fear of public speaking.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
