I recently got a job. I consider it my first "real" job because it isn't temperary, like the hoilday job I had.

I have social anxiety and depression. It's been two years of serious up's and down's. Every day is completely different than the last and some days are better than others.

Now that I have this job I am terrified of messing up. I finished training two days ago. Now I'm just waiting for the call for my first shift. I. Am. So. Scared. I know deep down that everything will probably work it's self out, but I can't seem to wrap my mind about it. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack over this.

I needed to get this out. Talking to people is extremely hard for me. *sigh* Thanks for listening.

Starting a new job can be anxiety producing even for people who don't struggle with depression and anxiety on a daily basis.

Also know (and I've been more or less constantly employed for almost 20 years) that everyone makes mistakes, especially when they're starting out. It's okay. It happens. As long as you're trying your best to learn the ropes you should be fine.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you But I have a feeling you're going to do great.

You said you thought it would eventually work out. There's your answer.
