    Hey congrats on the job! What are you going to be doing?
    I'm glad you've used the tools you have - do you want to talk about what's in your head here?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Congratulations
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi Suzi,
    The job is a part time care assistant (21 hours per week)
    I am worried that I won’t be able to cope with it basically. It is the fear of the unknown. The people seem lovely there and were *really* keen to take me on. Today I am very tired and my head is full of self doubt. I am terrified of getting ill again. My partner has put me into bed to rest. I have had a few tears (which always releases stuff for me) x
    One day at a time ....😃

    I’m sure you’ll be great at it but it’s always difficult going into a new job. As your signature says, one day at a time. Try not to borrow trouble - I’m betting you’ll love it.

    What are you doing to help ease the anxiety? Are you sleeping, eating, drinking?

    Hey, you'll be brilliant as a carer. How are the hours split over the week? Do you get time off in between to recharge?
    What things have you put in place for self care?

    Morning, lovely, how are you?

    Despite having a bad night, I got up, walked the dogs and then came to pottery. I have had a small swim too. The shifts will vary but this week I am doing Mon-Weds 7:30/8-2.30. My partner is not working this week so she and the girls are going to look after the house/tea x I will have a swim Tuesday after work x
