Worried about new job starting soon

Hi. 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 .

Well done for getting the job! 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. Hope it all goes well! 

Thanks
