Soon after I posted for the first time in a while I got a call from a temp agency about this job. (Tues). I started on that same day, that's why I haven't really been around.
My dh has an interview on Mon for a city job. So things seem to be rolling in the right direction. My job is temp-to-hire and my first week went pretty well. I picked up quickly and jumped in. I am working in the patient intake department verifying insurances and other clerical duties. The job duties are practically second nature to me.
I am really good at hiding my anxieties and fears. I sometimes feel so nervous about talking to people and how I look, and how I sound, and what I say, etc...The worries go on and on. I hate talking to people one on one because I feel like I have to be constantly moving. If I am not talking I am fidgeting with my hair or shaking my leg. I usually feel like a rubber band that is being stretched to the limit and is about to pop.
Ok, see I have just shared what I keep inside my head and in my mind. It seems like a little battlefield in my head all day long. On the outside I look in control, calm, and professional and I hope to keep it that way.
Oh, by the way, my new job is at a mental health hospital. They do inpatient and outpatient mental health services. Sometimes I laugh to myself, I came so close to being a patient in this hospital a couple of times. At least I know I have some counselors and psychiatrist really close by at all times. LOL.
You guys have been so sweet and helpful. I have been dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem and all that stuff for a long time and it feels good to have someone to share with.

Sounds like things are coming together for you. That is great news. Please take care of YOU. Keep in touch! (((hugs))) jan
Congratulations!
