so i just started a new internship that requires me to work full time. i moved about seven hours away (by car) and i'm living in an apartment now. the job is fairly easy cause all i have to do is pretty much buss tables and take out the trash at this restaurant located inside a theme park. i chose the specific job cause i thought that i wouldn't have to worry about talking to many customers and getting anxious on the job. but yesterday, during training, our trainers gave us new hires a test on how well we could interact with customers. later that day, i was pulled aside by one of my trainers and was told that he noticed that i had great difficulty interacting with the customers. he asked me if i would either like to stay working in my location as a busser, or relocate to somewhere else in the theme park. i told him that i would be open to relocating and then i had to speak to a manager later. later that day, i talked to one of the managers and she told me that it sounds like i might not be a good fit to work at this amusement park because many of the jobs here require you to be fairly social and talkative. but she also suggested to me that i could change my job to something more comfortable for me. i told her that i could possibly work in one of the merchandise areas or do a custodial job after hours since i have experience in those two jobs. she said that she will send in the request to have my job position changed. now i have to fill out a employee accommodation form as well. and i can't go to any of my scheduled shifts until management calls me about my relocation. but that manager also said that if there are no openings in those positions, i may no longer be able to work there at the theme park. i feel terrified, i was freaking out all day yesterday because if they don't find me a job opening, i'll have to move all the way back to my original home and i'll just be wasting all of my parents' money that they spent to pay for the apartment and everything. plus, i've already been fired from a previous job before. it sent me into depression and it also sparked a lot of social anxiety. i don't know what i'll do if that happened to me again. i feel like such a disappointment and a failure.

has anyone had to go through getting employee accommodations before? or have you ever had issues at your job due to your sa? i would really appreciate some advice on this.

update: a couple of days ago, my manager told me that she would call me about if I would be able to be relocated or not. She called me on the phone and today and asked if I could attend a meeting on Monday. I'm really scared right now. I don't know what's going to happen. Is this a bad thing that she's scheduling a meeting with me? She still hasn't mentioned if I'm for sure being relocated or not.
