Anxiety and new job!

[Heartbrokengirl14]

I start a new jobs today and I am a nervous wreak!
My anxiety meds are to the max and I just don’t think I can do it. I am working with children and I know if I mess up I’m screwed.
I feel so trapped and my anxiety makes me gag and I don’t want to be stood in the middle of a class room gagging. I’m so worried I can stop shaking. Does anyone have any advance? I just feel so pathetic

Breathe ... you can do this. Anxiety is hell but you have to push through this and once you have stepped in you will be fine. Just keep telling yourself that and keep deep breathing through!! Good luck!!

P.s you're not screwed if you mess up, just so your best . Working with kids means they won't chastise you like adults do. Honest I promise you can do this!!

Breathe, hang in there and you'll feel so much better on the other side, when you realise you weren't screwed at all and you're good at this. Also kids are thrust into new and scary situations constantly and just have to deal with it so think about them and try to take one thing at once. You can do this. You can even enjoy doing this. Sending strength.

I started a new job last week and I was exactly the same. On my first day I had to go on a little break because I was so anxious I wanted to cry. At the end of the day, I had relaxed a bit and was looking forward to going back. I’m starting my second week today and I love it now - I’ve made myself wonder what all the fuss was about!
Just remember that everyone who works there had to have their first day too. They do not expect you to be perfect or learn everything all at once so be patient and kind with yourself, you can do this xx

You won’t mess up!! It’s extremely hard to ‘mess up’ in a classroom; you’d have to literally swear at the kids or hit them to ‘mess up.’

Make sure you eat breakfast. It won’t feel as scary once you are actually in there. Good luck!!

Your goal for today is to make it to the end of the day. As a matter of fact, think of making it to the end of the first hour.

Tomorrow is another day.

Thank you! Reading your messages has already made me feel a bit better. I still feel sick and I really hope I don’t throw up on someone hahaha
