I am fine with my job, which involves stocking items, arranging merchandise and doing aisle maintenance. However, I am stressed because I was scheduled to work more than I am used to and the people behind the schedule don't seem to understand how much it stresses me out.

I made a simple request: please don't schedule me more than 2 days in a row (I can handle 2 days in a row but after that I start to burn out). I'm on disability and working part-time so I figured that wouldn't be an issue. But apparently I may be asking for too much.

The person who does the schedule, bless her heart, tried to empathize and understand. She said something along the lines of "I think everyone has some anxiety and depression, they just deal with it in different ways". Ok, so everyone has been hospitalized over a dozen times, tried countless meds, ECT treatments and lots of therapy? The general manager is even less understanding.

I need to have some days off to recoup basically; rest and relax. Otherwise I get overwhelmed and the thoughts of self-harm and suicide come in. My threshold is different from the "normal" individual. But maybe because I look "normal", they don't understand. Or maybe they don't want to understand.

If they continue to schedule me for 3 days in a row or more, I may not be able to stay just because I need to look out for my own mental health.
