So, first day at new job, and I had all the anxious feelings I knew I would. Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. Finally took a Xanax and was able to at least rest a little. But I still got physically ill. Took another Xanax (I can take three). It still took me some time to calm down, but I did. Still nervous, but no panic attack. And of course, work was great. Didn't really "work" today because it was my first day, but I think it went well. Everyone I met was very friendly and welcoming. Two of the paralegals have offered to help me learn how this firm likes things. I honestly don't think I have been this relieved over something in quite some time. Feels good.
