hey friends!!! from 2 hard years of finding work and getting so depressed about it I finally got a job!! I went in to finish paperwork today and I start tomorrow. I start training as a server! I am very very excited but very nervous. as some of you know I have social anxiety and I get very nervous talking to new people... people say to me "just put on your bubbly cute personality" but it's hard when I don't know you.. I'm going to try my best! I'm so happy. this is a huge accomplishment. a new chapter in my life... this has given me a new found emotion of accomplishment.... im so happy to be making my own money and finally get to take care of myself.. yay to me!!! suck it anxiety! haha

I hope all of you are doing well! send me good vibes for tomorrow! the guy that's training me is really laid back and kind of nervous also.. which weirdly gives me a calm feeling. like we're in the same boat. he has a jittery nervous vibe to him but if I bring my A game tomorrow I know I'll have a blast!

love you guys!

thank you! my morning was good! worked 10 am to 3 pm... had a two hour break. came back, 5 to 8... that didn't go as well... I guess bc my anxiety was really just kicking me in the face.

I got got home and I just fell apart. I was holding everything in today. my main focus was to smile and be bubbly... so I hide what I was really feeling. people always told me leave problems at home and don't bring them to work so I was all smiles. I got home and just allllll the fear, sadness of the anxiety, and just stress unleashed... I cried and felt like a total mess. my fiance held me and talked me through it...

gonna get some rest and get ready for tomorrow. I know the longer I'm there the better I'll feel.

today was just sooooo over whelming.

It will get better I know it. It’s normal to freak out the first day, let yourself have that catharsis. Bring light to your interactions. Focus on lifting people with your open consciousness. Don’t take anything personally. Proud of you, not an easy gig!! Xo

Go get em' girl!

Congratulations. That is pretty impressive that you are taking a job as a server in spite of social anxiety. You are doing something out of your comfort zone. I think you will do great and grow from this experience. 😊

That is good to hear that you made it through.😊 Does it help to "get out of your head". That is what working does for me. If it is busy and crazy, I forget all of my personal issues.

lil_avocado in reply to Marshall64

yes it definitely did... the anxiety was still there but I was definitely kept busy..

I got home and just cried everything I was feeling out lol crying helps me weirdly. my chest feel 10x lighter than it did when I started my day. it doesn't feel like a elaphant is sitting on my chest anymore.

Bravo! Congratulations Aly! You are awesome! It’s way harder for us to make and take the actual step. You are brave! It takes a lot of courage to cross the line of fear and anxiety. Fingers crossed!!! :))

amcclantoc12, this is really a great news that you finally got the job. Anxiety is a thing that can be fought with the care and taking some measures. As, you mentioned that the person who is going to give you is also facing the same problem which is with you. So try talking to him about it. Ask him if he is trying some measures to overcome it. Meanwhile, you can also check online at martine-voyance.com/tarifs for help and if you found it useful you can also let the person who is training you about it.
