I'm starting a new job soon, and it has the potential to be my dream job. I'm lacking confidence and afraid I will overthink things and get weird. I have a history of overthinking things and getting weird, or being unable to quickly complete work due to overthinking. Therapy and anti-anxiety meds don't help with this level of anxiety. Anyone else like this, and have a trick they use to help get them past it?

If you went through rounds of interviews and they hired you then they think you can do the job and that you deserve to be there. Just relax and trust yourself.

Meditation is a commitment - takes a while to get rewards, but the purpose is to get the stories out of your head and not get lost in your destructive thoughts and emotions. Might help your overthinking if your take it seriously and practice.

Good luck on the new job!

Did therapy tell you that it doesn’t work for that level of anxiety or did you self-diagnose?

CBT and negative thought reframing should help you. Live in the present and practice more meditation.

Otherwise, celebrate the new job! You were hired for a reason. Everyone gets nervous the first few months and just trust that folks will get that. Be aware but not distrusting. You’re all on the same team now.

You can do this. Never a doubt. You got the job, you will be great.
