So I start my new job tomorrow and I am full of anxiety, so much so, that it can cause a full panic attack.
I struggle with change and there's loads of changes happening over the next few weeks. I am also anxious as I will be working with kids again
If anyone can give me some words of encouragement, that may help because right now, I want to call them and say thanks for the opportunity but no thanks 😩

All your feelings are totally normal and will likely go away by the end of the first day! It’s natural to feel anxious. What helps you through a panic attack? Counting, breathing exercises, washing your face with cold water? Work with your anxiety not against it. Acknowledge it, don’t fear it. Ensure you get a good 8-10 hours sleep (if possible) so you wake up feeling fresh. Also keep plenty of time in the morning, leave 30 mins earlier than you realistically should because rushing in the morning to go somewhere important can cause a lot of anxiety. Look as presentable as you can. Sometimes looking the part allows you to feel it too. Hope this helps!
