New Job

[Anniejay]

Hi

I'm not actually new on here, but for the last few years have not been feeling too bad. However I started a new job last week, and my anxiety and panic have returned with a vengeance. I've woken up this morning feeling like I just want to shut myself away and scream. I feel sick and shaky and want to cry - most of all I feel really really stupid. This job is totally different to my old one where I had loads to do everyday and got quite stressed - hence the reason for leaving in the first place - this job is as a receptionist - much quieter - no stress and yet I feel panicky. Any advice on how to overcome these feelings would be fab as at the moment I'm feeling like I can't carry on........:weep:

Thanks very much

I know exactly how you are feeling. I started a new job in September (which I very much wanted!) and had a panic attack on the first day. I had to be taken into the medical room, crying and felt such a fool. My immediate thought was how stupid I had made myself look and how unprofessional... why do we care so much what others think?! I've been struggling since then after not having panic attacks for a good few years and it has recently reached a peak. However, I am still in the new job and am actually coping with the work no problem. I am off to the doctors again this morning but even need my mum to come with me when I go there. I've beat this before (as have you!) We just need to find the inner strength to beat it again! Wishing you loads of love and luck.
