Really bad nite :(
So its only 6:40am and I want this day to be over..Last nite I tried to get into bed by 11:00 and by 1am to no luck I was still awake, even tho i was exhausted. I am terrified of all the new things that await me at this job and it was only day 1.
I have no idea why I am worrying so much but I just feel like its overhwleming, Ill never learn it all, and I just cant handle it. The Im thinking i gotta fall asleep, gotta fall asleep, need to wake up super early, dont wanna be tired, which is only making me fall asleep even later!
Then as I did fall asleep I was awaken at 2:30 am to the worst thing ever, a panic attack in my sleep..i guess my job anxiety got the better of me and I could not relax,i was struggling to breath, hot and cold sweats and close to throwing up, so I tried breathing in and out and then at 3am called my mom hysterical crying ( i live alone)...thankfully she calmed me down for the most part but it was truly horrible..
i mainly got one hr of sleep, and now this morning have woken up with a horribly upset stomach and about to vomit cause not only do i have nerves but i think the salad i ate for dinner is laying in my stomach and im chugging gingerale at 6am so I dont throw up. I am soo tired and my stomach is killing me,
I have no idea how Ill survive this day, please i need hugs or advice or something to come back to. I feel like Im going crazzy this is soo unlike me, that a job would do this..

Re: Really bad nite :(
I think after all the stress of your previous job and now starting this one....You are freaking yourself out with worry about doing well there...
This being aside from the normal stress of the first few days at a new job...
So you have double the stress...
Try to have confidence in yourself and be patient. You are a smart girl who will catch on to the ins and outs of the job. Just takes a few weeks to get into the new routine but you will get it.
Your mind is on overdrive..If you have a hard time getting to sleep or if you wake up in the middle of the night..take deep breaths and try counting. Usually that works well in these kind of cases.
Also i usually am MORE awake on days that i haven't had a good night sleep
GOOD LUCK

aw, Mich!! I'm so sorry.
Take it step by step today - you'll learn quickly, you're a smart girl. You said it yourself, they don't expect you to learn everything overnight. Just take your time, and SMILE- you'll be perfectly fine.
you know my # if you need anything today Hang in there.

Re: Really bad nite :(
Sorry you had such a bad night. It is the worst when you know you have to fall asleep because you will be exhausted the next day if you dont...That happens to me every sunday night usually.
I know you were really nervous about starting this job, and I know you did a lot of training yesterday on your frist job...I am sure things are a little overwhelming at first, but I am sure after a month or so of working at this job you will feel better about yourself and the job will be a more relaxed environment. What you are feeling is only normal.
I hope you have a good day

Re: Really bad nite :(
oh !! Try to remain calm and take each day and assignment one at a time. Anything new is going to bring you a sense of uneasiness, think of all the things in your past that you were at first terrified over and now you have become familiar with and mastered. This too will be come easier and you will stop feeling so overwhelmed!

Re: Really bad nite :(
This si SOOOOO normal! Do not get yourself all worked up...it's ONLY a job. YOU come first...then other things that are more important to you THEN your job.
Remember if YOU are not a 100% nothing you do will be.
All you can do is try your best...you WILL learn everything you need to learn in time...nothing is learned in a day...and I'm sure your boss/co-wokers will know and expect you not to know everything...THEY DIDN'T!!
Be calm, confident...and remember to leave your job THERE...home is YOU time!

Re: Really bad nite :(
awww Michi!!! Just know that it's beginners nerves and you'll fit in and get everything down really quickly cuz you're such a smartie!!
Don't let it get to you, I know that's easier said than done. Tonight, come home, have a glass of wine and take a nice warm bath to help you relax.
As for getting through the day....take it hour by hour....countdown to lunch, then till mid afternoon when you need a snack or something, and next thiing you know, it's time to go home.
