My job is starting in less than 10 days and im getting real nervous and anxious.
I have been staying at home for the last couple of months taking it easy.
I feel I wont have te energy I need to work full time
What are some ways I can help prepare or hype myself up to work this new job?
That’s great news about the new job. 
It’s pretty normal to be nervous, I think, but try not to psyche yourself out before you even start. Also, once you start, try to give it at least a month to see how it goes.
Getting on a good sleep/wake habit would probably be helpful
There’s a learning curve on lots of jobs. They don’t expect you to learn everything perfectly the first day or even the first week. And most jobs I’ve had they overlook mistakes in the beginning. But if you are punctual and you put out a good effort and you go in with a good attitude your employer will notice and see you in a positive light and be more likely to cut you some slack and give you a good chance to learn the job.
Woody Allen once said, “90% of success is just showing up.”
My dad told me that attitude is one of the most important attributes in working. That means a boss will notice a good attitude. Personally, at my jobs I do what the supervisor asks without complaining. I am willing to help out co-workers if they need it. I try to be friendly and smile when it’s appropriate. I try to do just a little more than they ask me to. I don’t bug co-workers.
And most importantly of all, I don’t steal from work until I’ve been there at least a year.
I work four days a week and I find you can still get plenty of relaxing in outside of work. Chilling out is my favourite hobby if you can call it that.
I get the energy thing. I just push forward and you have to fight the urge when you first wake up not to stay in bed.
You will find having something to do is valuable, and getting in some money is a bonus.
Good luck on your new job.
will you need to be on your feet all day?
I would do some walking and stretches this week.
I think working a job will benefit you, and I do not mean just financially. Sure, it might become stressful at times, but it will give you something to do and help you feel more productive. Definitely give it a chance, like stick it out for at least a month before you decide if you can or cannot continue with it. I recognize that a lot of people with a severe MI cannot work, but I’m a firm believer that if a person is able to work, then they really should. I think this could be good for you, in terms of your mental health. It just might make you feel better about yourself.
best of luck @houseofstark…im sure you’ll do fine
My advice is pretty much what everyone else is saying. Give it a month before making any decisions about leaving. Every job will seem really hard for the first month or so, until you learn all your tasks and develop a routine. Stick it out until after that, and it will probably get easier and more enjoyable.
Thank you everyone for your response alot of you have provided great tips and perspective.
Definately try to get yourself on a good sleep and wake cycle.
Maybe try to get out aliitle here and there before you start work to slowly ease yourself into a schedule.
Good luck with your new job!
