I am so anxious about my work placement

[fruitshootsandheaves]

I have a work placement in Ipswich starting tomorrow for 3 days a week for the whole of January.

Tonight I feel sick, I just want to run away and hide. I am worried that I will be too slow or just not good enough.

I can't believe how pathetic I am. It's just work experience and life's too short to be this worked up about it. It's a small thing to have to worry about compared to other peoples problems.

I am also worried about the weather and the traveling as it will take me over an hour to get there.

Don't know why i expect people to reply actually, just feel like telling someone how worried I am as DH isn't being very communicative!

I'd be feeling exactly the same fruitshoots, in fact I'm sure most people would! Once you actually get there I'm sure you'll be fine, and the relief will be immense once you have that first day out of the way. GOOD LUCK!

I grew up in the Ipswich area... It's not that bad .

More seriously, I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine. The people you'll be working with will have no agenda other than to be work colleagues. You're not likely to be going into a difficult situation or competing with anyone, etc, etc.

My mum's in Suffolk and she's said that there's not been much snow and I don't think there's that much (if any) forecast for tomorrow. Also, Ipswich is on some pretty big (by local standards) roads and I would think they'll be clear.

Good luck!

Thank you both.

Sending good vibes to you today fruitshoots!
