I told my boss I would work with a client for her. I work with people who have disabilities.


They had no one else to turn to so I said I would do this for her. Now I am so high with anxiety over having to work with someone new. There is someone new that I must work with. I must find a way to overcome this anxiety somehow. It is so hard. I worked with this new client yesterday and everything was fine. Today, I am hoping I will be ok. After, that I just have one more day.

Thanks for reading this, this is really hard for me but I will find a way to do it.

Hi C.H.

Good on you for taking on a new oppurtunity! Even though you were nervous that it could cause you increased anxiety, you stilll did it! You should be proud...and your boss will surely take note of this! :)

Since you did well yesterday, I am sure that you will also be able to handle today too. Draw from the positive experience of your successful ability yesterday, and let it give you confidence for the next two days.

You can do this! Use your decompression/coping skills at the end of each day to re-charge for the next.

Here's to many more new challenges for you in the future should you choose to take them on.:)

I would just like to thank you for helping others. Especially because this causes you stress and discomfort, and you did it anyway so as you could help someone in need. You are indeed a special person.
thank you

It takes a special person to work with people with disabilities. Not everyone has it in their heart or has the patience to do that kind of work. We appreciate what you do!

You're doing such a good thing! Props to you! :)

You can handle this - draw on that success from yesterday, like S.C. said. Also, remember that all of your clients were new clients once and you've succeeded with them.

You've got this, friend!

Everything went fine. I cooked for him today and the fish I made didn't turn out very good. lol I am glad it is over with though. I'm not sure I will take on anyone's clients ever again, even if it is for a short period of time. I have been pretty much a mess.

I do love what I do but it is only with my clients, the ones I am familiar with. lol They bring me so much joy. I do love my job but for tonight and the next 2 days...I NEED MY DAYS OFF. LOL
