Hi everyone,
I haven't been posting much in the last little while because things have been improving dramatically. Update: I have kicked my sleeping pill addiction (2 weeks without taking any!!), been working part-time at my old job with no anxiety, and haven't felt any of the physical symptoms of anxiety for 3 weeks now! Plus I feel "back", like the old Lisa has returned. Its funny, my boyfriend has commented that he knows I'm back because I've started nagging him again about leaving his stuff all over the house
BUT (and there is always a but) I'm starting to get frustrated with myself because my worries about finding a new job will not go away. Met with an aquaintance who works somewhere that is hiring, and she explained the job to me (very simple and mundane) and says that the people are fantastic (something else I worry about in a new job). Sounds like the perfect thing for me at the moment, and surprisingly the pay is pretty good for a research job. But of course, right away the doubts start creeping in...yes its simple, but I could still screw it up. What if the anxiety comes back full-blown? I'm trying to work on affirmations and countering these negative thoughts, but they just won't budge. Should I just accept them as normal for starting a new job and try to ignore them? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
