Is it normal to be really scared to go to work?

Ok here's the thing, I got a job in a pub months a go and my boss was really horrible, they gave me no training and left me on my own to work the shifts on my own. He was really inappropriate and asked me to work with no top on. He told me I was useless at my job and I cried every night when I had work the next day. I quit that job after a few months of hell but now I have a new one. It's completely different because my manager is really lovely. The fact is though I'm still really nervous about going to work. I had my first shift yesterday, I made a couple of mistakes. pouring the wrong drink and clicking the wrong button on the till but nothing major. I feel terrified to go back tonight :( is this normal?!

    Absolutely normal! Think of it like a kids first day in a new school. Except your co-workers are your classmates and customers are your teachers

      Not unusual, I had a horrible boss 3 years ago and I am still nervous (seeing a therapist). If the nervousness doesn't go away after awhile go to a therapist, otherwise your fine.

    Well it's not like you're operating a nuclear reactor or something. If your new work people are truly cool they will overlook small stuff. Try as hard as you can and try to do better than required. This could turn into a fun time!!!
