Anxiety and Work

Hello, I have a case of OCD, where I have obsessions, but don’t really have a lot of compulsions. I have obsessions that are centered around a theme of harm, which has caused me to quit jobs, and made my life really chaotic, and full of stress and anxiety. I’ve started a new job recently, as well as new medication changes, and I’ve had anxiety about being back to work, especially since I’m new to the industry that I work in. Near the beginning of my new medication change, I’ve had a lot of anxiety and strong urges to quit my job because I’m not immediately a pro at it and everything is still new. I talk myself down, saying that experience comes with time, and my coworkers and higher ups will support me. Is there anything else that I can do when the urges are strong, and when my mind wants to spiral? Thankfully, my medication seems to be kicking in now. I have Bipolar Type 2, and I’m switching from Latuda to Zyprexa, and we recently increased the Zyprexa more, because I was really struggling with the change at first.
