I've just started working again today will be my third day I have to leave in 20 minutes to go there. I know it's going to be busy today as I work in a resturant. I don't really enjoy it but I know I need to stick to something for money and maybe it'll improve my mental health. I just feel anxious all the time I can't think about anything to work towards and to make me happy. Yesterday after work and during work I had pains in my Chest and back and it might because I haven't worked in 10 weeks. I'm only 18 and I just want to go to work and not worry about it and just go there do the job and Come home. I don't really like the job it's just not for me.. Dealing with complaints and all the stress. My heart drops thinking about it. I need a pep talk or some advice to help me feel more positive about this situation. Can anyone help ? sad my boyfriend is hating his job too so I don't want to stress him out about mine

    Well Katie I think you are amazing I wish I could go out to work

    You are doing so well yes its going to be strange for you but just keep thinking poistively and thats its gonna help your mental health.Its only your third day.

    If after a few weeks its too stressful and its too much then you walk away.

    I know that in the past when I have started new jobs when I did not have anxiety the first couple of weeks were hell until you settle in and get into a routine

    Well Done sweet and good luck to you x cool

      Thank you! I am trying I think it's because also I'm used to being around people I know very well and well these people I don't know .. They don't know I have anxiety or anything. Not sure if that's good or bad? I'm sitting in the staff room now hoping my night will go fast! Want to make everyone proud but I want to keep myself happy aswell. Xxx

      Work went okay actually. Few people I don't really click with but hey you can't be best friends with everybody no matter how much you try. It's getting easier.. I got sent home early as it was quiet which is nice. I suppose I need to keep doing it and hopefully the anxiety will think it has no use to me anymore and buggers off! Thanks for the support xx

      Yeah I'm hoping that's the case. I may get used to it I don't want to give up straight away. That'll probably cause more anxieties in the long run. This forum is really good for motivation. Thank you xx

    Hi katie you should be proud of yourself for working. It will get easier for you just hang in there and be proud of yourself for doing a great job. 

    I know its hard to work when you have a lot of anxieties because i am in the same boat too with going back to work tomorrow 

    I am a little anxious about it and when i get anxious i have a lot of GI problems 

    Good luck to you

    Try hard not to even think. When you get to,work pour your whole heart into literally just doing your job.you are doing great so far. Dont let anxiety steal your life and your job. If you hate the job fo for a low anxiety jib. Google them online.maybe a jib with few people incolved or ine you can do at your own speed. Maybe a job with animals a pet store or such would be less anxiety provoking and fun. Look around.
