Can't Sleep

[misterg6270]

Started a new job last week and haven't been able to sleep since. I lay in bed all night long worrying about anything and everything, did I forget to do something? Did I do it wrong? Then look at the clock and know I'm down to 3 or 4 hours of sleep then I can feel my heart start racing and start sweating and know I will never get to sleep.

do you have a check list at work of what you need to accomplish.....in other words....if you have done your best.....then that is good....give yourself credit for that....and if you find you need to change something when you come back to work...that's a learning experience, and leave yourself alone....what have you done in the past to wind down for the day, what has helped you to do that before your job.

I used to do that too. For me it was anxiety, ocd, and perfectionism.

It used to stress me out! Looking back on it, I don't know how I got through it without breaking down.

The first few weeks of a new job are very stressful for everyone. The people are new, the work is new and you don't even know your way around the physical area. It is even harder for people who are inclined to anxiety. Give yourself a little more time.
