I sent my very recent change of life playing with my anxiety ??

hi i apologise in advance as this is a little long winded. ok so i think its my anxiety thats playing with me at the moment. i have worked from home for 5 years and decided i wanted to get out in the world so started looking for work. i found a job in a shop 2 days a week but only lasted a week as the night shift working till 11pm set my anxiety off bad. i was very lucky as found another job same day i gave the other one up but new one is full time in a lovely coffee shop inside local train station and started yesterday . so friday evening after the drama of quitting one and excitement of getting another went out for literally just a couple drinks. on the walk home i tripped on my flip flop and basically face planted a wall, i banged front of head and have a nice graze under eye and on forehead. saturday i spent in bed feeling sore and gutted i would have to start a new job like this but accidents happen, so this happened 5 nights ago and until today i cant shake the "what if i have done more damage" "what if i have a brain bleed" all the things us anxiety sufferers go through but didnt have any synptons of anything bad. anyway started new job yesterday and loved it although some moments were a struggle like my anxiety was rearing its head but i fought through - but needed to get a taxi home. today i woke up in better frame of mind thinking if there was something bad i wouldnt of been able to work etc, and felt excited about going to work had a brilliant day even got a bus home although i could feel my anxiety trying to pop up, got home did some chores, tea etc feeling good, then all of a sudden legs were hurting was feeling sick and have come to bed and feeling disappointed day ended like this. so could all this be something from my accident or the pure fact im getting used to coming out of house going to work travelling etc and my anxiety is playing with me until my mind and body settle into my new routine etc, i apologise for long post and appreciate you reading and replying just thought i needed to explain situation from where it all started xx

Sounds like a combination of all those things. Try to relax, good luck with your new job.

Hey hun, thankyou for explaining your situation. I think you answered your own question in everything you wrote. You’ve been through much, all at once. Literally, a whirlwind of activity. You have a combination of things occurring. You’re having to adapt and get used to working outside. And all :performing_arts: the trappings associated with that. You are learning a new job, and by the nature of your work you are learning to deal with an endless stream of people, and the staff. You want to do well and impress. But you are out of your comfort zone. But, we’ll done you! You’ve got a lot of determination and courage. Unfortunate, that you tripped. But that’s all there is to it. Your wounds will heal. Please don’t put anymore emphasis on it than that. Good luck, Donna xxx
