Did Anyone Else Have This Problem?

I don't know if I am posting this in the right area but I am a new firefighter, have only had my card since december and I have only been on one fire. I am having problems with anxiety off duty about the job and about working a fire. I struggled through my fire class, I did everything that was required but I really struggled. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help relieve my anxiety about the job? I am attending traininigs and doing extra training to learn equipment when I am at the firehouse but it's not helping much. Any suggestions?

Just relax and believe in yourself, I had almost a 'similair' feeling at the beginning, I talked alot with my buddy's about it....just some times.. on certain calls..the feeling is still there just a little!!

But when you're on the job.. you know perfecty what to do.. just have faith in yourself!!

Stay safe!
