You won’t make a fool of yourself that is just the anxiety throwing you a fear curve ball! Working is so good as you get some structure.

I’m a long term depression sufferer , with intermittent ok times, and right now I’m very low. I’ve been very inactive for about a month and, for the first time, I’ve started medication and therapy. I am not improving and so I thought it would be a good idea to get back into some work. I’ve accepted a grounds maintenance position starting on Wednesday and I’m very nervous. Should I just pretend I’m ok ? What if anxiety takes over and I make a fool of myself? I do believe though that I need to get occupied to help my condition. Thanks .</P> Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:58:14 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/worried-about-new-job-starting-soon/m-p/613815#M34856 Agua 2025-09-07T00:58:14Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/worried-about-new-job-starting-soon/m-p/613862#M34860 <P>Well done for getting the job!
