Given that today was your first day, you stay. Then you see how say two goes - it'll likely be better. Then you try day three and day four.

It might take a few weeks before you're anything close to "comfortable", but you should get there. If you don't (after a few weeks), then ask youself whether you should stay or leave

Normal to feel overwhelemed on your first day. Everything is new to you!

Make sure you're getting the right support you need to settle in though.
