View Full Version : Starting new job arrgghh...
Hi Everyone:)
Ive been off work for 5 wks now(feels like a lifetime), I am feeling slightly more myself again after having counselling, still doing CBT and popping my herbal pills-im still very anxious headaches, dizzyness and all the lovely anxiety symptoms but what Im starting to understand is Ive had this for years now and even though it is hell sometimes with these symptoms they can not harm me, Ive thought for 5 years now Im going to pass out and I never have, so am trying my hardest to beat the crap out of this and send it packing!!. Well due to money an not winning the lottery or meeting a rich man and really just wanting to challenge my brain with other thoughts I am starting a new job tommorow its only 9am until 3pm but I just feel like because Ive been out of work for a while that im not up to scratch with work and meeting new people all in all Im cacking my pants!!but as gloria gaynor(if thats right??) said 'I will survive....', send me lots of good luck for tommorow everyone PLEASSSSEEE!!!P.S. This site is amazing and all your advice has meant the world to me Nicola and Meg I think you are STARS**[Yeah!]

hello kirsty matey,
ive just read your bit for today and all i can say is well done. your an inspiration to people. this can not harm you, i think i have finally realised this too. just keep poping those herbals. also a thing to remember cucumber is good to calm you, also its a healthy snack. thats where the saying cool as a cucumber. also perhaps whilst your at work you can read some power books, pop to the libraray and get some books on self esteem etc ie gael lindenfirld, claire weeks, they work a treat and youll look rather cool
brushing up on your reading skills. welkl done matey xxxx
Hello Kirgray
Have a lovely time on your first day - you may be uncomfortable from time to time and thats to be expected. Keep things in perpective and watch that time fly.
You take good care and well done on all your progress.

Hi Kirgray
Best of luck for tomorrow and i am sure you will be fine. Even people that have had time of due to holidays feel a bit anxious about going back to work.
You have done well to turn yourself around in such a short time and get yourself back to work, thats a positive point you want to hold on to.
Hope it goes well and remember by Wednesday on your day of you will wonder how quickly those 2 days passed and i am sure everyone will be looking forward to having you back at work.
Thinking of you.

Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Hi :DTatty!!:D
Thanks Tatty Im so pleased I did it, I wont deny it it was scary at first, am still anxious about work tommorow ....but I know I got through today so I can get through any other day!!.
Ha ha we were the pampering queens last nite!!hey u with your toffee ice cream I never thought of that one!!Hmmm I may have to have another pamper night tommorow night and purchase some.....haagan daaz mmmm!!, I started off with a roast dinner....bubble bath with candles....chocolates eaten whilst in the tub (HEAVEN!!) and then chick flick which was really cheesy but hey they are the best!!!X X X X
Thank you Meg!. I had a few moments where my lovely headaches and dizziness tried to make an entrance but Ive started finding that some form of distraction i.e. moving around or thinking something nice can usually make it crawl back into its ugly shell!!, The work is fine its reception work and it was quiet today so it was a nice day to get myself back into it gradually!!. Bit anxious again about tommorow but like I said to Tatty I survived today and I'll keep on surviving!! Any other tips Meg on distracting myself from the nasty symptoms?X
Hi Kirsty
Hope tomorrow goes aswell as today and the days that pass get better and better. Remember after tomorrow you have a couple of days of the chill out and look at what you have achieved in such a short time.
