good luck! you will be fine nobody is meant to be perfect on the first day of a new job so just be kind to yourself and know you are meant to be there!

I was out for a year too and just went back. It was scary to take those steps, but it has been okay so far. A few weeks in and I am making it. Take lots of deep breaths and know you are never alone. And congratulations too!

Ditto...many wonderful wishes to you. Be kind to yourself...perhaps a little treat after work...anything that might make you feel good.

I get how you feel. I was forced out of my job almost two years ago and things are looking up and may start work pretty soon. I am not worried about my intellect, just my ability to keep scary thoughts out of my head for chunks of time.

I hope your new job will prove to be interesting. Sometimes when my intellect is happily challenged, I can have some good days.

Wish you all the best.

I am sure you will do fine. We all feel this way with a new job. Count your blessings, you've got a job, you can work, You can come back and tell us how it went, The Lord will be with you too. Good Luck

Congratulations. You're taking the step that I wish to take soon. Good luck. Everyone here is sending good thoughts. Just breathe them in.

Wow thank you everyone for the encouragement it really means alot to me! Blessings...I'll let you know how it went!

You go girl! Glad to see there is hope for returning to work. I am going to try next week. Maybe we can buddy on this one.

Do keep us posted and remember always, you can come here and find support, be it a good day or a bad. We WILL be here for you!

Well, everyone I did it! With lots of prayers and deep breaths I made it through my first day. I work again tomorrow. then i'm off till black friday. Please pray for me then I am so scared!Thanks fo allyour incouragement!

Congratulations on getting a job and now making it through that first day. Way to go!!!

Thank you so much! otday was my 2nd day. exhausting but it kept me busy and was not overwhelmed by my past. Occationally things would trigger but I just kept saying to myself..."Iam an adult now and nobody is hurting me just keep doing your job. It turns out that my previous Boss gave me such a high recomendation that my new boss already respects me. Nice ha? God is so good. One week I'm suicidal and the next I'm working. How different are my thoughts and perspective. Still scared but I'm doing my best. So, thanks again for the encouragement! And a special thanks to God and the Spirit of Jesus Christ for being with me!

Yeah! Happy it has been working out well so far. Hang in there and hopefully it will get easier at work with time. And if they don't, always remember it is okay. You have so much strength. Very, very proud of you! Many hugs and congratulations again!!!
