How to feel more confident in and outside of work
Posted: Tue May 09, 2017 4:40 pm
Hi there, thanks for listening.
At the moment I feel like I'm still lacking confidence in all the ways which I want to improve in. I am in the process of starting up on attending support groups and looking at activities to do but I don't know if it's lack of motivation or just self esteem issues in myself. Maybe both.
Starting my new job at work is going alright. I'm learning and getting support if I ask for it although I still feel like the little things are still the issues here. Like talking to new people, handing customers correctly, getting to know the staff members there and learning on the job. It may all seem natural to feel like that but I feel alot of the time when I'm there I'm stuck on things what to do and people to talk to. There are people who I get on with of course and are very nice to me but still feel it's not enough. Is that a bad thing? Do I want things to move fast?
Right now I just want to get more of a social life and do things I wanna do. Tomorrow I'm going with my care coordinator to an out of hours service/center who helps those with mental health issues to get involved in varies workshops they have in place and services to help cope with there mental issues and self confidence in a support network. I feel nervous cuz never been to one of these things before but excited at same time cuz its what I really need what I wanted all along to get back out there and socialise, enjoy activities I use to do, be around others and hopefully make new friends which is the biggest thing with my self confidence I want.
The only thing what doesn't seem to change is my mood swings it having an effect on my well-being. I know stress is been a problem recently cuz of work. I don't know if it's just finding things outside of work to help me relax? Can anyone suggest any tips on that?
Thank you for reading my story. I really appreciate it. I just hope things get better and start looking up.
