Hey guys,
First of all thanks for reading.
I moved to a new town in Feb this year and since then I am now on my third job.
I'm starting to become deeply embarrassed/ashamed about my constant job hopping, I've done it all my life. I think some of it is down to bad luck as in the firms I've gone to haven't been good companies to work for but I think a lot of it is me. I've always been extremely anxious in a workplace setting.
Since 17 (I'm 27 now) I've always worked in an office doing various things but mostly buying, admin and customer service etc. It's always been in the manufacturing sector and I've just left yet another job after been there only two months, because I felt overloaded and bombarded with work even though I was only still learning the role plus the directors were horrid shouting/swearing at staff etc.
My anxiety has always been in the workplace NEVER outside of work but this week I had a meltdown at the doctor and told her that I wasn't coping. I've managed to find another job to begin in the new year but it's the same type I've always done and I hold no hope of it being any different to be honest. The doctor signed me off sick until I start me new job and told me not to go back to the old one.
My mum thinks the type of job I do and sector i work in is too pressured and fast paced for me and I need to rethink what I need to do as a job otherwise I'll just carry on going round in circles.
Has anyone got any ideas of what is a good job for someone with anxiety? I'm not going to lie I am sick to death of office work. I would prefer to be on my feet. My mum suggested waitressing, I did this while I was at school and when I think back to all the many jobs I've had, I did actually enjoy this and wasn't anxious constantly.
Only problem is it's not enough money for me. We are supposed to be buying a house next year maybe I could do the office job and gain a food industry qualification with a view to (once the house is bought) looking into going to a job role that actually suits me. Because my constant job hopping is making me anxious, hopeless and it's very stressful as I'm always "the new person" and having to learn a new role is so tiring.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice at all is really appreciated, I feel like such a loser right now.
