I recently got a new job as a support worker for people with learning difficulties and I find it very difficult because it's a lot of responsibility which makes my anxiety play up. I feel very scared about the future and how long-term things are going to pan out.
Mental health wise these past few months I've been much better, although I can feel myself slipping and I'm scared of how it's going to affect my job. I worry it's all going to go wrong and I'm going to burn out or something. I've not missed a day yet but I don't work full time (still quite long hours though because of the nature of the work) and I find even that very difficult.
Whilst at university I volunteered at a brain injury centre just once a week and I found it very difficult to go regularly just because I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. You're not alone in feeling like this.
