I recently got hired for my first ever job. I have never had a problem talking to people after I actually start a conversation but EVERY step along the way in getting this job has been terrifying! The day leading up to the interview I was a nervous wreck. Didn't eat or sleep for the 24 hours leading up to it either. I just counted that as interview nerves that I assume everyone gets. Since then, I have had to return phone calls numerous times and the minutes leading up before the call I get so nervous that I start shaking. After the phone call I spend hours obsessing on everything in the conversation. I have been freaking out for over an hour because I didn't say my name at the point I probably should have. If it wasn't that I would have been bothered all day over something else about the call. Worst part of it all is that I finally get the thoughts totally out of my head, but then it just randomly pops back into my head and I'm freaking out again!
I just had a phone call that went very well, and was relatively simple. I just called to set up my schedule. I only have 30 minutes of sleep because of nerves, and now that the call is over, I'm over obsessing about something I might have done wrong, and now can't find a way back to sleep. So here I am posting here because I don't know what else to do. I don't even know if this falls under the umbrella of anxiety or it's something else. Should I possibly look for a therapist or talk to my doctor, or is this something I should just get used to and get over? Any help is VERY much appreciated.
