I am confident you can do it! It is natural to be nervous in this situation! It will be ok!!! 😊

Survived my first day at work, it was long and there is a lot to learn. I am taking one day at a time one section at a time, plus I want to leave at the front door and concentrate on relaxing things. Thank you for your replies.

How are you getting on at work. I find getting to work every day a struggle.

But once I am here I am okay.

I did one day of training and came home and a bit of a meltdown. There just seems to be so many things to learn and remember and I don't know if I am up to the task.

Works getting better but it was such a mental shift getting up everyday and meeting people. No hiding under the duvet and shutting the world out if I feel down.
