I'm really stressed out about my new job. I haven't started yet but I'm just so worried I'm going to hate it even though so far everything has went well! any tips?

      I've felt that way about every single job I've had over the past 8 years. Some of them I've hated and there was even one that I put in my two weeks notice that I was leaving only two weeks after starting because I was at my lowest, having panic attacks every night before going to bed knowing I had to work the next day and every morning getting ready to go in to work. There were a few that were only jobs while I was in school getting my degree and I calculated exactly how long I would need to stay to make enough money to be comfortable leaving. I've also had a few jobs that I was really anxious about and then ended up loving them. The job I'm currently at is the one I got my degree in and even though it does make me anxious sometimes, it is very rewarding knowing I'm helping people. I am getting a lot out of it even when it feels like its taking a lot out of me. The important thing now is to just breathe and know that just because it is new doesn't mean it's going to be bad. You could even keep looking at other job options (with or without giving yourself the extra work of applying for them right now) so you have a backup plan if you do hate it. Good luck with everything!
