I started having some anxiety attacks just before graduating. I don't handle change well-I HATE to move. I had been on College Station for 7 years and was ready to leave b/c it is a small town and everyone was staying 18-22 and I was 25 but still the unknown stressed me out. I started at an EC here in Austin and was left completely alone -not good for new grad. I stayed at that job for 8 months and then could not take the stress anymore and found a new one at another EC and have been happy since (though at times burned out but that is another story). The best advice I can give you is make sure your job has some sort of mentoring-this is so important IMO. That way if you have problems your mentor can help you sort them out and help at least alleviate some stress. It has been over 5 years and I can't believe how much I have grown -just take it one day at a time, concentrate on the here and now the rest will come.
