unplug your fear of anxiety and you will be anxiety free…that is the core purpose of therapy is to show you you don’t need anxiety…it’s a mind game…try not to think about anxiety when it comes on…

I’m very anxious too. Try learning grounding techniques. If you practice them, over time they really do help

It is normal, you are new to the job.
Try not to pay attention and set goal, like I made it at least two weeks…

I understand. Every job ive ever had, people think I look lost. Because I am when I try to work. It never lasts long. And I tried way too many times over 25 years with way too many disability leaves before I went on full disability.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing that and hope your anxiety gets better as you get used to your new job.

I don’t think about it. In fact I don’t even notice it because it’s just part of who I am. Other people though … They can see it.
