So I should be starting my first full time job in a couple of weeks and I’m very excited!! I’m 24 and I feel like I’m finally starting my road to independence. I’m also very excited because it’s actually in my field (psychology) (i still have to go back to head school to get my masters though) and my therapist was telling me I need to make time for self care. 

I‘ve only worked part time. And with my last job, I didn’t have consistent hours. And if I was in a bad mood (sad, depressed, episode etc.) I’d just post my shift and someone would pick it up. But now I’m starting my career and I really don’t want to mess this up. 

I was thinking about trying meditation. Also I do DBT. 

Any tips? Thank you 😊
