New job - paralysing fear

[Munki]

I mentioned before that I'm to start a new job after working for myself for numerous years.

Some days I feel excitement and other days I'm literally paralysed with fear. How do you know if you need to just let something go due to the pain its causing?

Well, you won't know how bad it will be (or how good!) until you start and give it some time, unfortunately.

I get awful anxiety whenever I start a new job, and at this point I just realize that things are going to suck for the first few weeks - no way around it. The best thing for me is to figure out how best to mitigate that suckiness - things like bringing my favorite snack for when I need a pick me up, finding the bathroom so I can escape if I need a break, etc.

Congrats on the new job, and I'm sure it will be just fine!!
