Help I have an opportunity to have my first job ever and I am terrified, plz help

[sgifeei]

So my mother works at a printing shop, manual labor. 2 days ago my mother told me that they desperately need a worker and asked me to come work with her. I said no, since Idk if I am in a mental state to be able to work 8 hours without panicking, I have rly bad anxiety.
Then, literally 10 mins ago, she called me and told me that they are basically begging me to go for at least 5 days to try, that is how much they need my work.
Idk what to do.
Older folks, pls give me advice on how to stay calm working with people and not being anxious :(
I want to work but I am so scared.

I'm not old per se, but I do have a bit of work experience. And as someone who also struggles with anxiety I completely understand your frustrations. The best advice I can give you would be to give yourself some grace. It's your first job. You're allowed to make mistakes, get things wrong, everyone does. With the more experience you get, the less anxiety inducing it will become.
