Advice please-anxiety about work

[Takeastroll]

Hi!

I was wondering if I could get your advice

I have always had anxiety but Have never really seeked help or advice. I was ‘let go’ of my previous job as I was in probation and they never really gave me a reason just that it wasn’t working out, I got a new job straight away and have just started at the start of this week but I am having issues with waking up for hours in the early morning and then going into work so tired and having coffee but this is just making my anxiety worse- I have constant thoughts that it’s not going to work out and that I am going to be in the same situation and whatever people say to me I just can’t help thinking it, previous to this I have always been pretty confident in what I do.

I always try to be a very positive person but it’s so exhausting keeping this up and I think people mistake my ‘hyperness’ and constant on the go for energy and not anxiety

Any suggestions with how to help this??

Thanks!

Stroll, I also struggle with this.. Because of financial obligations, I'm currently stuck in a job I don't enjoy.
My advice, take each day one at a time.. it helps alleviate that sense of dread.. about what might happen there in the future. Each successfully finished shift is a small victory.
Second, keep your options open. Keep looking (& applying for) a better and/or different job. It helps the process of professional progression & satisfaction. I'm (currently) starting a supplementary income I'm optimistic about. Take care.

I have had a lot of work anxiety in the past and sometimes even currently .The way that I look at it in the morning before I go in is that I’m going to do the best I can and if for some reason I have to leave of my anxiety is so bad that I can always leave and I’m not chained or trapped there. I used to work a second part time job at 5 am and actually after I got used to the routine of waking up early it seemed to be beneficial to helping my anxiety for some reason or another.
