Well, yes, I think I was a real worst case scenerio about freaking out about work. Remember, I had an 18 month depression and got pretty isolated for about 18 months. By the grace of God I got accepted into this work situation. I had expected to look for months and months. It didn't seem like a good fit but now I am adjusting.
The advantages are....it is a big place with tons of people and there are many people to talk to and it has really brought me out of that socially inward place.
I work in food prep/selling/service and maybe secretly I knew I was a foodie...but now I am invited to be a foodie. It's glorious. I taste great food all day long. No worries about weight gain as I am running and on my feet all day.
One advantage of coming out of serious depression is that maybe I feel I can take risks. I just didn't want to work in a negative environment. I couldn't. So I complained.
Perhaps for now the job is a godsend. I think maybe everyone should give it a go at work if they so desire. No one could be more freaked out than I was and I appear to be surviving.
