New Job Anxiety

Hi,

This is my first time posting on here, but I really need someone to talk to.

I've just accepted a temp position for a 3 month project. I'm quite anxious about going in because it's a new situation and those always make me worry. I often get like this before a new job, and although I know these feelings are normal, it still sucks. I worry that because I have these thoughts every time I get a new job that I'm not cut out to be in the workforce, and that I won't enjoy myself. I am also quite anxious because I don't know what to expect.

I also worry that I won't have any time to myself, or to spend with my partner and friends. I get anxious when I'm not in control of how I spend my time and my mind goes into overdrive.

If anyone has any advice on how to deal with these feelings, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi, welcome

Worry produces nothing but ulcers. It doesnt help.

Have confidence in the logical common situation that after the first day or two you'll settle.

Sometimes we think we are unique with our fears yet few people ever feel relaxed starting a new job.

so....hooray!! Youre normal.

Seriously, you'll be ok.
