Really anxious about new job

[Righteoustakeme]

Okay guys, so as you can see from my other posts I got a new job. I go to orientation in a few days, and I’m super fucking nervous about it. I’m just really hoping that I absorb as much information as I can and that I do well. I’m so nervous because I don’t know what to expect and I’m not sure I’m going to perform well at the job. It’s a simple cashier job but still, I tend to freeze up at work when I encounter a situation that makes me panic. I just want to do well and make money and have a purpose. Is that too much to ask? But really, I’m so nervous and overcome with feelings of worthlessness that I just don’t know if I’m going to be able to get through the job and perform to the best of my ability. I also have a lip piercing and I’m not sure if they’re going to tell me I can’t have it. Ughhhh so many things I’m worried about. I’ve been going to outpatient group therapy session 3 times a week for a few weeks and that seems to be helping, but I’m just so unsure of myself in this new job. I just don’t know what to do. Someone help

Hi

You did really well to get this job and you are going to be great at it. Everyone feels nervous starting a new job and people at work will understand that. If you also suffer from anxiety that makes it twice as hard.

Feel proud of yourself and try not to run yourself down. Do not worry about the lip piercing in advance of the problem. They accepted you at interview so they are accepting you for who you are. If they do object to it you have a choice to make but try not to meet trouble halfway.

Very best of luck in your new job.

I am sure you will do very well.
