What do i do

Hello, I start my first day of work tomorrow and i am terrified. My anxiety is kicking in and won’t let me stop thinking the worst. This isn’t my first job, i have worked before but i tend to run away. I don’t last more than a week at a job and i give up easily. I doubt myself too much & I feel like i won’t be strong enough to get through it. I’m tired of feeling this way and disappointing my family. Has anyone else felt this way?

Hi,

It’s natural to feel overwhelm or anxious when starting a new job. I always have felt this way but after getting to know everyone, you then start to feel comfortable. On my last interview, i wanted to walk out once i walked in the conference room and saw everyone sitting there waiting to interview me. I said to myself you’re stronger then that. Gave it my best and got the job. 2 years later, i’m still working there. I was very unstable with my jobs but then started to realize i’m closing my doors to opportunities. Give it a shot tomorrow, and set a goal to keep this job. My trick when i get nervous, i picture people in their underwear. Lol. It never fails. Good luck to tomorrow. Tell yourself you can do this!

hi just remember why you got the job because you where successful at your interview and your new employers must see you as an asset to the company or they wouldn't have hired you.have the belief that your good enough and that might help with any anxiety that you have.best wishes on your new job and hopefully new beginnings.
