New Job

Not only did I have the interview yesterday, the gave me an offer later in the day and had me start today. So it's been a crazy last two days for anxiety. They needed me to start today because someone was leaving them today and I am one of two people being assigned to pick up their duties.

Not only did I have first day of work anxiety, which caused me to not sleep well at all (I woke up 5-6 times), I was sent right away to meet this person at a client site, and then go to another client site. So a triple dose of going somewhere new anxiety + new job anxiety. I managed to not have an anxiety attack somehow, maybe the L-Theanine was responsible, but I was also totally beat the whole day.

Complete:
Step 1. Get self into the office.
Step 2. Make it to lunch.
Step 3. Make it to the end of the first day.

Next:
Step 4: Make it to end of the second day.

Oh goodness I hope the rest of the week is paperwork in the office and computer based training sessions. At my last job, there were a lot of panic attacks in the first few weeks (getting divorced at the time didn't help). I was able to hide them because I was doing various computer training sessions in my cube. I toughed it out. I have to tough this out too. Day at a time, hour at a time, minutes at a time if I have to. Pet my cats, breathe deeply, get sleep.
