Wagwaan EADD. First day of training and new job today, was actually going incredibly well, remember actually thinking "I can't believe nothing's gone wrong yet!" which is just asking for it really. Then right towards the end, with about an hour to go before freedom, ended up having a very physical panic attack on the shop floor in front of several customers and staff members (including two other girls who'd only just started the job as well) which came completely out of nowhere. I've had attacks like this before but never in public so hadn't yet warned my manager about my anxiety/depression etc as I didn't think it would effect the job, at least on the first shift. Had to leave the floor to attempt to calm down and finally ended up leaving early as I couldn't compose myself back into a level where I could functionally interact with customers. My manager was nice about it and has said I should still come in for my second shift tomorrow, but am feeling pure dread at the thought, cos of the extreme embarrassment, humiliation and self hatred I felt from the incident (what sort of a first impression must that have made!) and cos I'm afraid something similar might happen again as I still can't pin down what triggered it. Proper grim

Hope things are going better for everyone else x
