First day at work

β€’27 Replies

So i got the job at the library and even though spidey is still in training im allowed to bring him whenever i want which i was extremely grateful for. My panic attacks have gotten worse after i found out i was hired and i was barely getting any sleep or eating and things took a turn for the worse last night since today was my first day and i was finally getting out there in the real world i was a wreck thinking i would have to deal with new people and spend hours outside my safe place...... last week i talked about OUR STRENGTH how we keep forgetting about it, i left home 2 hours early since my therapist said it would be better that way i would have enough time to calm down (he's the best) the attacks came rushing in, the self doubt, that deep fear the bad thoughts the tears, i wanted this job so badly i already love books now i was going to get paid and be surrounded by thousands of them it was my geeky dream. A dream that my mental illness was trying to ruin like it ruined so many years of my life. I was half hour late on my first day with puffy eyes and i was exhausted drained but i came to work, late or not i came, agoraphobia GAD depression i still made it there. And guess what im going to do with my first paycheck??? Haha im going to buy so much chocolates every dentist in the country will have nightmares πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Good on you for making it to work. Apart from feeling exhausted at the end of the day , how else did you feel? What were the good positive feelings you felt in getting to work?

Take care and keep going you are doing amazing things.

I was exhausted when i got there and tired, usually that's how i feel after attacks, then when i started i was on edge the whole time i couldn't really focus on what one of the employees was telling me i kept zoning out for some reason. I was allowed to bring my dog which really helped and telling myself that this is a safe place and im strong.... at the end i felt extremely proud of myself
