Frustrations

I purposely have a very part time job low stress dog walking for mental health reasons.

Well my manager wanted me to take a job that would mean being at a clients house with their dogs like 9-5 for a week. I can't handle that.

I tried to tell her my anxiety can't handle it. It is just I can't be calm enough in another persons house that long for that many days. And at 24 I'm finally going through trauma therapy so some days I'm drained.

I just wish people would understand. It's even harder first holiday since I cut my abusive parents out of my life. And it's more complicated than oh done. Everything is great now.

Sigh.

I had similar experiences at my job, unfortunately I had to quit because they were putting too much pressure on me to work more hours. I wish more people would accept NO for an answer. Hang in there I hope it all works out okay

Your manager wanted you to do a job that required more time. You don't have to get into your mental health issues, you can just learn to say "NO". You are part time, that is your committment, you can say you appreciate the offer but you cannot do that particular job.

You have gotten away from your abusive parents. You need to learn how to set boundaries now, you probably never got your boundaries respected by your parents so now you have to slowly learn how to set boundaries and that it is ok for you to do so with out having to explain so much.

Thank you for the replies. Saying no has been very difficult for me. And Open Eyes you are right I'm having to learn to set boundaries and it is so much harder than I ever thought.
