Sooo, I'm 19 and I've only had 3 jobs in my life. 2 in fast food and one being a Nanny. My first job, at Hardee's, I quit within 3 days of working because my managers were all constantly telling me "You're too slow! You need to work faster! You need to do better!" and I ended up having a panic attack and in tears while I was working and really just wanted to be with my husband. It was a terrible fight to go to work because I'd spend all night before crying and wake up all through the night with chest pains so eventually I just quit.
My second job, at Wendy's, I was fine throughout my training but as soon as I was on my own things got hectic. I spent the entire night before panicking that I was going to mess everything up and get fired, and when I went in the next day, I couldn't remember half of my training. So my boss started telling me what to do but it was backwards from what I had been trained to do so needless to say I spent a lot of my day crying in the freezer. When the girl who trained me came in he told her I "set the record for slowest." I spent the whole night panicking about going back to work and eventually didn't.
Anywho, it's time for me to get a job again or we might lose our apartment. And I am petrified. I've been trying to get a cashier job or something lower paced than fast food but that isn't working. So my mother is pressuring me to do fast food again. And I just can't. Whenever I think about all of the pressure and noise and people I have to deal with, which is already terrifying on it's own without having to serve them, it makes me so panicky and scared and I literally don't know what I should do. I just want to stay home with my dog away from scary people and work.
