Feeling kinda proud of myself because I managed to talk to alot of people and goof around some. I have some Facebook adds and numbers but I doubt these "friendships" will last. I don't have the confidence to pursue them....But it was nice feeling like a had friends for a little while.

I need some advice, guys. I started a new job a week or so ago. It's doing a number on my nerves. I know that jumping ship right now would be wrong of my and I think my family will be a bit upset, but I can't take it anymore. I can't sleep, I'm nauseous, and my medicine is all out of whack. I see the doc on Wednesday, but I work twice before then. I'm pretty sure they won't let me miss two days of work in the first month. Any advice? I've been thinking about it for a long time. My gut says to look for something more my pace, but my head is telling me that I'm making a rash decision based on fear.

^^ I have been in a similar position before. The last (full time) job I had made me feel a similar way, and I quit.... I couldnt take it. What is it about the job that is making you feel that way? If you are having doubts about it and its making you feel physically ill... I would look at something else... theres no need to put yourself through so much anguish, in my opinion..

There are so many people. I'm used to working the small time. I only took this job because the place I really wanted a job from didn't call me for an interview until after I had taken this one. The other job is in a smaller store and it's doing things I know. I know these people don't expect me to learn everything right away, but I just get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. One lady said she was surprised I came back the second day. She said most don't come back or they quit on their first day.

I don't want to anger my family, though. They've been up and down with me and they are all so proud. I know they would want me to do what is best for me, but I feel like I'd be letting them down big time if I quit so quickly.

I have to be at work in less than 2 hours. I don't know what to do. I talked to my sister and she was supportive. My mom isn't answering her phone and if I'm still here when my dad wakes up, he may kill me.

Yeah... I think I know what you might be going through. Well perhaps not exactly, but I left my old job because I had so much anxiety and just felt sick to my stomach everytime I thought about going back.... I thought I should quit before I spiral down into a deep depression.
So the question I have is, if your co workers are saying most people leave on the second day, then what does that say about the working environment? - it sounds pretty harsh whatever is going on...

I think...ahem... just uh clear my throat here... I think... if a job is making you so completely and utterly miserable, then you need to leave. If you suspect that it might just be a passing phase and that it could get better, then try to hang in there... at least until you get to talk to your doctor... you cant worry about what your family thinks, you have to keep yourself healthy and do whats best for you, even if it means making a decision that you may not be particularly proud of....

At least...thats what I think, whatever you do will be the right move I am sure..

Welcome back! Why do you think they won't last? I hope some of them do and you get some nice friends and a possible boyfriend out of it!

How do you mean your meds are out of whack, they're not working? I suggest going to work and treating as a challenge, see if you can survive the next couple of days - it can be a real boost to know you can get through something difficult. :)

They aren't working. She has me taking them so I fall asleep at night, which is when I'm waking up to go to work. It leaves me feeling moody, tired all the time, and, like right now, really depressed.

I really wish I could look at it as a positive challenge. But all I can do is look at it and start crying.

Sorry to hear this. ::(: I guess it doesn't make it easy to go to work, either, considering you're dreading it. I don't really have any advice but I hope for an easy day for you. *hugs*

Heeeyy!! I'm happy to be back. I sure hope all is well with you, Mikey boy.:)
I really hope to get some kind of relationship out of these. I'm already feeling a little better about myself having had so much positive socialization and just simply having the positive reinforcement of having people who at least claim to enjoy being around me. I hope this can help me with confidence in searching for a job.

That's great that you feel better about yourself! I think you should definitely harness that and hopefully it'll give you the confidence you need for job searching and other aspects of your life. :) Sounds like the convention was an excellent idea!

I looked in a mirror in an elevator at the Hotel I was staying and I started to feel some self hatred. I feared my anxiety was annoying a receptionist who was friendly but I could hardly speak to her.

But then I felt a kind of forgiveness for myself. I've got to look after myself, whatever I am, whatever anyone thinks of me right or wrong. There's so many people ready to bring me down, why should I add myself to that list?

Alone. Depressed. Like I'm an outsider. Part of me doesn't give a f#*k anymore. ::(: Struggling with negative thoughts.

I wish I had a better relationship with my parents and family. Oh well, back to watching sitcoms for the rest of my day. Got to try and cheer myself up somehow.

Not good. I downed a whole bottle (!) of cola light yesterday and it made me stay up until 4 am or something. In my crazed caffeniated state I thought I could finally get some good work done. Today I woke up at 9 am, after about 4/5 hours of sleep, and I've felt quite depressed and anxious throughout the day so I've shut myself in my room today for the most part.

Once again a reminded of how bad caffeine is for me.
