It's perfectly reasonable to feel a little anxious when you are about to embark on something new.
But new jobs are a process.
You start day 1 knowing next to nothing, having to follow somebody around who's job it is to show you the ropes, then they let you go to see how you get on.

You'll make errors and genuine mistakes. They expect that.
It's how you deal with this that determines what happens afterwards.
And unless you're working with people where mistakes can have serious repercussions, it's likely to be just normal errors they'll have seen a hundred times before.

@Picklebobble2 A little anxious /nerves versus severe panic attacks is something entirely different though.

One is normal and healthy and fades away rather quickly, while one is static, and a sign of severe mental disability, a disability that can hinder people from having a job or go to university.

@Queendragonfly Perspective is what I was getting at.keep a sense of perspective.
Everything she says is exactly the same for everyone starting a new job.
