Start a new job tomorrow.i wanted the move as my previous job was making me miserable but I am terrified,I've had bad stress and anxiety this week and felt like I was going to have a massive nose bleed or a heart attack or stroke.my legs are burning and my head feels like I have a headband on.i have social anxiety which is the main reason behind my fear,and I have terribly low self esteem and no confidence plus I put a lot of pressure on myself.i will have staff in this role which is terrifying to me but I am trying to remind myself how miserable I was in my old job and that this can only be an improvement.i just hope it isn't too bad,I'm a newlywed and my anxiety at the minute has led to more bickering with my husband than I would like.i would love to be easy going and confident but that's just never going to be me,I have been taking diazepam to calm me down but it isn't really helpong

Hi I can totally relate. I'm sitting here in tears trying not to panic about going to work. Pressure is so intense but you got the job so you can do it. One day at a time. You might totally enjoy it and have great colleagues. Best of luck and let us know how u go. 👍

Thank you for your message and sorry you are having a bad time-are you having problems at work or do you generally feel panicky about it?i used to cry a lot about my old job as there was very little work to do so I had too much time to overthink so I would feel very drained-I have to remember this when I am struggling with the new job.i hope you have some support to help you when you are crying

Hi, I changed jobs in June and life was good until new job triggered all sorts of panic now can't return to it so I am trying to find a new one. I have a desk as I can't be fired but no role. So much pressure to secure a permanent role. I can't bear it. Partner is having his own issues and just gets mad with me cause can't see the issue. So tired and worn out. It's constant and dr says can't do anything else to help.

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the new job 😊 You deserve it!

Secondly, just think of it as a step up and a positive from your old job. This is a new fresh start for yourself.

Sorry to hear about your stress and anxiety. I think it's definitely worth going to see your GP about your stress and anxiety and let them know how you feel.

I start a new job too in a few weeks and feel slightly nervous😑 then I remind myself that this is better than my previous job where I felt miserable.

All the best for tomorrow!
