@helloNorth1462 I'm sorry that your thread has been sitting here unanswered. I truly I wish I, or someone else in the community, could have been there for you when this was happening. I know how scary panic attacks can be but I can't even imagine how exhausted and stressed your body was after enduring it for 4 days. If you still suffer from panic attacks let me know and we can talk through some relaxation exercises, grounding techniques, and resources you can try to lower your anxiety.
I'm also sorry no one was there to help you with the anxiety of starting a new job. I know my social anxiety would be making me incredibly nervous about that too. I hope that your first day went better than expected and you are doing better in general now. I'm sure you have many wonderful capabilities despite your self doubt telling you you didn't.
Let us know how you have been doing so we can offer you the kind of support you need and deserve.
