Really nervous and anxious, not good!

[wiggal]

Please people keep me sane!
I start a new job tomorrow as have been off since the beginning of march because of my car accident. I'm really scared :-(
The accident seems to have knocked my confidence completely in every way and I keep getting really anxious and nervous about nothing!
At the mo, I am sat in the bedroom trying to relax after yet again not being able to eat much as feeling anxious, sick and short of breath.

My fiancé is in the front room playing games with his kids having cooked a lovely dinner for us all and now giving me time to try an calm down...
Some one please talk some sense into me!!

Right. Head up, shoulders back. Repeat after me " I can and I will. If those idiots out there can do it so can I. Standing on my head if needs be." Best of luck and stop worrying. You will soon settle in.

I can and I will! Yup, I can keep telling myself that!

I have resorted to taking kalms recently to see if they help me calm down, so far... I'm not quite sure!

wiggal ... Everyone is the same, it's not just you. Your new colleagues will take this on board tomorrow! It's always awkward those first few days ... come back & tell us how it went!

Think of all the things you regretted doing in your old job and look forward to the opportunity to do things differently this time. New people, no baggage! Good luck.

Hey guys, ta for your answers.
It seems to be in general I get like this, not just about going to start a new job. Last night I was going out for dinner with my fiancé and was just the same... I get short of breath and nervous and he says I look really nervous and go very pale. It is only since the crash though, I never used to be like this!

At least it seems today and the last few days I have had a reason to feel like this!

Wiggal....I was redeployed after along absence...I know how you are feeling... but don't expect too much of yourself...allow time to get a feel for the place, the work and the people One step at a time...wear something that you always feel confident in...and quick grin in the mirror as you leave the house... and let us know how you get on...

My husband said once that I spent half of my life worrying. I realised then what a complete waste of time it was, because it came out all right anyway. And if it didn't, what the heck, head up and start again.
