Hi @Dandelion_Pelicanstarting a new job can be very stressful bring up a lot of anxiety, let alone with the extra pressure of thinking you are doing a good job. It sounds like you care for the children very much and it's very important to you that they have a wonderful experience. I can see that you like to be mindful of your actions towards them as anything less than care will hurt you deeply if you can see that in yourself. Is there anyone at work you are comfortable debriefing with? Maybe asking them how they would handle the situation you were in?

You say that this type of anxiety seems to pop up from time to time. Do you have any tools to help you through these times? Are you linked in with a counsellor, or have you spoken to your GP about the possibility of a mental health care plan? Would you consider speaking to Kids Helpline and chatting with someone to help you process your thoughts? Is there anything you can do calm and distract yourself?
