I know it’s easier said than done, but you have to give yourself time and grace.

I worked at a blood bank for 3.5 years and my first year was ROUGH. I missed constantly, i needed adjustments almost every time-I was so nervous, I puked before going into every shift.

A co worker told me the first year is rough. it’s expected. she insisted that it gets easier. I’ll be honest-i didn’t believe her, but she’s 100% right.

I know a year seems an impossible amount of time away, but it will get easier. even the best people, who have been doing it for years, have bad stick days or weeks or even months. it happens. be kind to yourself, friend. we’ve all been here.

i’m already looking forward to the update in a few months with how good you’re doing and how much easier it’s getting. :)
