I have just recently started a job, in a career I love for over the summer before starting back at uni but my anxiety/ social anxiety is making me dread going in some days :-( I do have some good days but there are days where I come home and just worry about everything, things I have said, how I come across, the way I look, not fitting in or connecting with most of the other people or just coming across 'boring' or 'fed up' or something along those lines... when in reality I just feel anxious at times. I'm going to start therapy but even though I'm proud of myself for getting this job and the interview going amazingly, sometimes I do think, maybe I should have just waited until I was fully confident, within myself.... just writing here, to see if anyone has been through similar situations.
Hi Holly well done for getting the job.Also congratulations for facing your fears.To stop now is not the answer keep going and with a bit of time your confidence will increase.If you find you are thinking negatively find ways to distract yourself.Practice meditation which is on YouTube it has been proven to help calm down your thoughts.Keep going you can do this.
thank you so much for this reply, it made me smile <3
I sometimes just get overwhelming anxious and worry a lot and just feeling quite upset and anxious right now but I need to think positively and remember why I did this in the first place If I can do this, with all of the fears, I can do anything - having this job will make me stronger and more confident in the long run also, yay for it being Friday!!
Good girl you have got this.Enjoy your weekend and try to learn to relax.Also remember this people are not judging you they have their own problems.If they are judging you they aren't worth bothering with.
