Something’s not right

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything

Hey forumites. I start a new job on Monday and I am feeling quite overwhelmed. I don't quite know what to expect and a lot of "what ifs" are coming up.

I spoke a bit about it with my psych the other day. This helped a bit.

But there are so many things happening at once and I am trying my damn best to understand it all and what I'm doing. I feel underprepared for it. I feel overwhelmed by it even though I haven't started. I feel I am close to panic I guess idk...... I'm confused

I think I am playing over scenarios in my mind each day.

I still feel there is so much more I can do in life beyond this new job and I guess I feel this way because I have reached a new point on my mental illness/health journey where I want to do everything.

I need to rest now because I have a cracking headache. I'll see you around
