New job and Perimenopause - Menopause Message Board

Hi everyone. Well I just got hired for a new job this morning, I'm staring Monday and I'm having a bit of anxiety about it. I'm wondering how good I'll be as I'm not the same as when I was in my twenties and thirties. I don't see as well, I'm more forgetful and I just can't seem to remember names..ugh. I'm going to be working in an office doing bookkeeping and stuff. I've owned my own business for the past 15 years and it closed down last month, I got left with a load of bills and I need to work, so, here I go. Just needed to vent.

hi mary. your new job could be the start of some thing really good, don't they say we need to exercise our brains to keep them in good working order? i don't work because of some health problems a few years ago, but sometimes i would really relish a bit of a challenge, and working with younger people keeps us young too, keeps us in touch with what's going on.
it's a shame about your business and the bills mounting up, but hey, you can do this! hope it works out for you.

Thank you for the kind words Sue. I guess it's just insecurity. I'm going to try and stay positive. It's a challenge for sure but I have no choice.

Take care,
Mary
