Not enough people talk about the anxiety and regret that can come with a new job. As an over thinker, I can’t help but keep thinking about all the possible scenarios that I could have taken. I do realize that I made the right decision but I can’t help but think what-if. Has anyone experienced this as well??

I experienced this to an extent but the anxiety was because I wasn’t sure if I made the right decision between the job I accepted and another role I had an offer for that I really liked.

I found solace in knowing I made the right decision with the facts I had at that moment. Overtime you have no choice but to be ok with the decision you made.

It might be helpful to make a list about WHY you took the job. For me, this included: loving 2/3 of my interviewers, the fact that the people I liked were on the same page as me about industry trends so I knew we would be working towards the same thing, base salary, etc

I have. The book 'Worry Trick' helped me.

My manager scheduled a feedback conversation and I know it's bc I've made some noticeable mistakes lately due to moving too fast, not being able to focus, racing thoughts, etc. I'm seeing a therapist about whether I have ADHD and if so, what tx looks like; we started the intake process which will be continued in my 2nd appointment, which is after the feedback convo meeting. Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?
