To make a long story shortish, I’m new to working in my field. I got a job as a receptionist in a company who were happy to teach me in the editing side of things as well (which is the job I actually want).

A few months in I was given my own project to complete. I enjoyed doing it but my anxiety and depression were so bad around then that I actually had to take time off in the middle of it and later ended up quitting the job. I was very lucky to be brought back when I was looking for work again and have a similar project coming up to do myself. I’m really grateful for how things have turned out and I’m looking forward to doing it, but I also have TERRIBLE anxiety about it. 

I’m out of practice and associate this project with when I was at my lowest. I set really high standards for myself and I know things are going to go wrong / I’ll take too long to complete it / I’ll have to ask for help / I won’t do as good a job as I hope to etc. I guess I’m just looking for advice on how to just accept these facts / keep my anxiety at a lower level and not let it affect me in work / how I feel around coworkers. 

Thank you in advance!!
