Why do I feel depressed before going to work?

I'm usually OK when I get there but it's just before I leave, or even the night before, it's quite daunting, I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel like this. I sometimes have the overwhelming and agonizing feeling I'm going to fail at my job and lose it. Negative thoughts I know.

I used to feel that way before., and one reason was that I was a little hard on myself, overthinking and all that. I felt I needed to be always at my best and it was exhausting. Eventually it just turned out okay. If it is a new job I think it is quite normal to feel that way. Once you’ll fully understand your scope and make new acquaintances it can get better. Just be kind to others and most specially be kind to yourself :)
