its normal to feel anxious about starting a new Job.Must be even harder if you suffer from Anxiety. Acknowledge your feelings first and foremost. tell yourself its okay . Then tell yourself ; i will go for a week ,just one week. thats my goal and if i feel slightly less anxious by weekend i would have succeeded. Think about how you have never actually made it as far as day 1 in the recent past so this will be a great achievement.
It also sounds like you are a very intelligent person who has the potential to achieve a lot, give your self a chance to do that. Dont let what happened in the past take away this opportunity you have. You know those pple who bullied you highly likely have their own big chunk of insecurities .You can do this, but even if you can't its okay...

Hello Guest 9043
I felt like I could of been reading my own Post reading yours. I too have suffered in this way so many times in the past, the exact same situation. I quit my last job and I had close to three months off work due to anxiety /depression issues but I too start my new job next week too! So I know what your going through, I also only went to two interviews so it was sudden and yes I was excited, but now I'm starting to feel the nerves kick in, but we owe it to ourselves to finally succeed, we have the opportunity so why not give it our best shot, get up super early next week before you go to work, focus on positive thoughts if you can and just get out that door, I'm just focusing getting through the day for now and in all seriousness I don't think they would expect too much from you on your first day. It's hard I know, because I am the same, but I really want this to work I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself and either should you. This will be good for you, try eat healthy and try get enough sleep the day before and prepare everything the day before. You can do this!

Thank you Lilly. My nerves tonite are terrible as I start tomorrow morning, but I’m really going to try to not think too much about it. Just having your support & knowing you are feeling the same way makes me want to do this & get through it for both of us.
I will let you know how it goes tomorrow night.
Thank you once again
Paul
