Stressed. Trying to stay well. Peer support training.

So basically ive already spammed the boards with how excited i am to be able to go on the peer support worker course. & incase dont know what peer support workers are - Someone whos gone through significant MH struggles & uses that experience to support others with similar -listen, understand them, give hope, support them with goals - ect. I just would love to do that job!!!

anywayyy now i am starting to feel veryyyyyyyyy overwhelmed and stressed😥😥😥😥
gave in my ID for DBS but i also need to fill out some stuff incase my contact with the police come up on it but the email i was sent isnt working 😥😥😥😥. I just really hope that ive harmed a police man will not come up on it 😥😥😥😰😥😥😥they know my contact with police & they said it shouldnt affect my place cause was in MH crisis. But im scared incase it looks worse on paper or something. Like people make things sound bad with big words & that. But apperently it shouldnt come on at all. Dk. Will find out anyway:///

ive also been given my Timetable for the training & it starts on the 29th -- even if my DBS hasnt came through THATS LIKE LESS THAN 2 WEEKS away 😥😥😥😥& is 9 til 5 every week day - work experience in there somewhere and all of this training is just over a month which isnt too bad. But i am only used to working on weekends for 8 hours a week & im going to be doing this added to it! im going to be doing something everyday & i havent done anything more than 8 hours a week for years. Dk if can do this but really want to.
& basically i just need somewhere to keep venting my stress of this & to remind myself to keep myself well.

Stress if a massive trigger for me so really hard & just keep reminding myself of things. Postive thoughts and all but yeah harddd. Teddy helps me though. And just need reassumance thats its totally okay to be stressed even if i didnt have mental illness like life is stressful but will find ways to cope 💆‍♀️ And omg need more smarter clothes for the training. I mean i do actually have few trousers but dk stresseddd.
& idk if i have the confidence for it. But i mean the interviewers saw how i was with people & in group- must of not been that bad if can be on the corse. Which i just need t keep reminding myself & feel like my confidence has got lot better in just the past few months. Still not great tho And im scared they will think im not in my own recovery jounery to help others yet - but they did say they would be honest about that and will work on it aswell as work on training.

Anyone know how to manage self & stress? And how to stop overthinking?

I would just feel awfull if i disappoint them & waste the NHS money training someone who is shit😥😥😥

& doing a wellnes plan for myself actually was helpful

But im sure will be worth it. They even have a graduation at the end of the training!!👩🏻‍🎓

& i Dont suppose anyones a peer support worker?

Im so stressed omg
