Every time i get a new job, i am fine for the interview portion it and when i start my first day the anxiety kicks in. I can't sleep, my heart starts to pound, my appetite is gone and when i do eat i start to feel sick and nauseas. The longest time i've been able to hold a job was 3 months i was starting to like that job but due to unforeseen circumstances we all got let go.
I recently gotten accepted for a new job. It was my first day of training the other day (4 hours) and i didn't expect the job to be so demanding. When applying for the job the ad said Receptionist, so knowing i already had basic knowledge of being one i would apply for it. On the first day of training i found out that our role was being a receptionist, office duties and help with physio clients (machines and doing beds etc.) I was quickly becoming overwhelmed and anxiety started to quickly set in as the boss is quickly annoyed if you don't get things right quickly. Trying to learn everything at once was getting to my head, time felt so slow and my memory felt like it didn't exist at all. I pushed through the 4 hours and went home and just broke down crying. For the next two day i didn't have training and all i could feel was my heart beating fast and my appetite was none existence. I didn't want to get out of bed, all i want to do is sleep and stay home. I have another 3 hour training session tomorrow and all i've been thinking if i should tell my new employer that all this is giving me anxiety or i should just quit and try to find another job less demanding.
Everyone i talk to seems to not understand what i am feeling. So i thought i would post on here in hopes that someone understands me. 😞 Everyone i have told just try and encourage me i can do it and i commend them for that but in my head it feels like it doesn't help. Maybe it is my state of mind.
Does anyone have any tips?
