First job struggling to cope because of anxiety

[GG15Rose]

Hi, I'm 16 years old soon to turn 17 and I would love if anyone here could help me! I have recently gotten a job as my parents have asked me too. I know I need one and I also don't mind he idea of earning my own money. Although, this new job I have is causing me lots of anxiety. I have been woken up by panic attacks and I struggle to convince my self to walk into the job. It is a one on one environment and I have received no proper training. I get very scared that I will do the wrong thing and I am very afraid to serve customers as I fear I will mess up the order as there are many products I do not know. There is a lot of pressure from the boss who I am frequently working with in a one on one environment. The anxiety building up to the day I have to work and before I walk in is getting worse with each shift. I feel sick in my stomach and it puts me in tears. I think the right thing to do is quit the job and find another that is more suitable for me, one that is more structured and has proper training. This anxiety is affecting my daily life and thinking about it makes me feel really sick. I have to tell my parents and I fear they will be mad so I was just hoping maybe someone could tell me whether I am doing the right thing or not?

Hi Lori!

Thanks for the advice! It helped me to reach out to my boss. I tried to speak to my boss, although he wasn't interested and replied that i lack motivation to learn and lack the availability for them to train me. Which is incorrect. I have no unavailabilities and when working ask an abundance of questions. This caused him to fire me. It's very disappointing that this is the conclusion he chose to draw instead of admitting he should be training me, and not leaving me alone in the store when i am not trained to do many of the necessary tasks.

It was a tricky situation and it shouldn't have ended the way it did, but i tried my best to work to my abilities and he wasn't willing to train me. Thank you for all your help, it was great to know that there were other people willing to help me. Thank you.
