Hi everyone! On Monday I start a new job that I didn't even think I was going to get but I did. I'm kinda nervous about starting tomorrow because it's a new situation and I feel like I don't know what to expect. I'm not even really sure what my position is going to be or my hours or even my pay rate. Up until this new job came along I had been umemployed for a year and a few months. I'm worried about feeling anxious/panicked at my new job and it being obvious and/or having to explain it to my new co-workers. Also I live at home and my mom is sick and I'm worried about her being alone until the middle of the afternoon. My new job is in the city I live in but if I needed to get home right away I'd have to wait for a taxi or the bus since I don't drive/have a car. Right now I'm just in anticipation mode because I don't know what to expect in terms of how I'll actually feel and deal with this new situation once I'm there and also what the work environment and people are really like. Thank you all for listening and take care.

Hi Rose,
Congratulations on your new job!!Of course you feel a little anxious,most everyone feels that way when faced with a brand new situation.Try to relax-do your breathing and I'm sure this will be a wonderful experience!!Good luck and God bless

good luck and have fun with it. do you best is that you can and be positive. you won't be perfect give yourself time and think of it as a good way to get out and about

I need some advice on how to cope with my children in a store. I already have issues with panicky feelings when I go shopping but it seems that it really plays hard on me when they are with me like I'm being pulled to many different ways. I already do about 99% of my shopping without them even school shopping. Am I a bad mom? I'm starting session 2 today will I find the answers in weeks to come?
