Hey everyone. So I recently was able to get a new job. It’s line work, basically packaging vitamins into little boxes and stuff, but I’m so beyond anxious. First, I don’t have a car so I’m going to have to take Uber’s, second, the Uber rides cost a lot of money because the job is a bit farther, third, it’s shift work so I work 12 hours a day, I have to be to work at 5 in the morning and I get off at 5 PM. There is a lot to this job even though it’s a bit easy. I’m very overwhelmed with everything. From my schedule changing (not the work schedule but my daily routine more or less changing) to getting to work to being socially anxious and overthinking things. It’s a clean room environment so you have to wear a hairnet and a jacket thing. I have longish hair so I’ll probably have to tie it into a bun or mini ponytail but I don’t even know how to do that, I’ve never done that style before. I have autism and schedules changing for me are hard, and instructions are even harder because they kind of go in one ear and come out the other. but I really don’t want to tell my new boss I have autism because I don’t want to sound like Like I’m asking for charity or whatever but I kind of do want to tell him. I haven’t started this new job yet, I start tomorrow but I’m just so scared and anxious and overthinking things and I have a headache now because of it. Can anyone relate. I just really needed to vent this out.
