Starting a new job can be daunting for anyone. Having a brain that likes to overthink everything makes it 10x harder.
"Will they like me? What if I mess up? Will I fit in? What if they think I'm not good at my job? Would they tell me if I did something wrong? When will I feel comfortable there? What if things don't work out?"
Too many questions ran through my head when I accepted my new job offer and resigned from my old job. In reality, I needn't have worried at all as I'm only a week in and I'm the happiest I've been in a workplace in a very long time. However, it doesn't stop your brain questioning every possible outcome. It's hard to just believe and hope things will work out, but in reality that's all you can do. It's impossible to preempt the outcome of every scenario your overactive brain will throw at you. Especially if it's something that's really important to you (like a new job!), you are more likely to get worried and anxious about it as you really want things to go right.
