What can I buy today to help with anxiety/panic about work tomorrow?

At the start of July I had a job interview, in the two days before I had such severe anxiety, with racing heart, sweating, trouble breathing, that I was frightened I was seriously ill. Miraculously I was fine on the day itself and got the job.

My first day is tomorrow, and I have the same feeling. I have to speak for a few minutes to the whole company in the afternoon, which is making me worse.

Is there a remedy I can buy today that will help steady my nerves?

If you believe it will work, it will.

Try some box breathing when you feel yourself getting nervous;

Good luck with your new job! You will be absolutely fab - and remember that everyone is nervous on their first day, some just hide it better than others through practise, and the ones who aren’t usually turn out to be arrogant horrors that no-one likes! It might help to go over what you’re going to say if you haven’t already?
In the meantime I use this for my dental phobia which gives me the same severe anxiety - it may help? Listen to it a few times and before you go into work/do your presentation
