Dreading starting my dream job?

Question

I got a new job last month, just waiting for all the checks to come through before I can get my start date and hadn in my notice. I've been in my current job 18 months and although I hate many things about it, I feel it is part of my life and my colleagues (only 7 of us) have become like my family. My new job is tonnes better in terms of the work is more interesting with better hours, better pay. But i just not sure I will be able to cope with it. For some reason I don't feel happy I just feel panicky and depressed. Somedays I just feel like i want to just give up all together, like if i carry on I will end up cracking up and messing up and losing everything. That's how i feel, my job is my life. Either way i'm scared i'm gonna do somethin stupid, get sacked or something, and then i'll lose my flat as well. I just feel anxious and bad. I should be happy and feeling blessed, not feeling like this.

Answer 1

Calm downnnnn!

You'll do fine in your new job.

It's hard moving on from colleagues you've become close to, but that's life. No reason why you and the other 6 can't meet up from time to time? It's perfectly natural to be nervous too :)

It's important you actually enjoy your job, and by the sounds if it currently you don't.

Answer 2

Its only a job. You must have been a bit dissatisfied with your last one or you wont have applied for another. Take it as it goes.

Edit: Try and build a life outside work - its only to pay for the flat and bills. It is a tool not an end

Answer 3

THIS IS NOT your dream job; is simply better than being

poor or being hit in the head.

A dream job has almost nothing bad about it.  YOU feel great

in the morning, afternoon, evening and you like a majority

of those around you.

YOU WILL find it.  This is not it.

[compare a job to a meal; a burger is ok.  Steak is better.

Noodles are in between.]
