I'm a trainee at a local store and I'll work there for a few months, but now that I'm outside of the house for the first time in weeks, I realize how severe my situation actually is.
I lose touch with reality the moment I have to socialize and I'm slow with everything.
When I'm given instructions I literally forget about it 10 seconds later and I have to ask so many questions that I'm starting to feel embarassed.
If I make a small mistake I obsess over it for quite some time, which distracts me even more from the work I'm supposed to do.
When I finally feel like I can concentrate on a task I space out completely and after a while I'll "wake up" and realize that I've been given new tasks but I haven't noticed anyone.
It feels like I'm watching a movie with an annoyingly dumb protagonist and I can't do anything about it. It has never been this difficult for me to remember information.
There are so many thoughts/voices/impulses that are distracting me from working that I just want to lock myself in a room and cry.

I'm planning to talk to my therapist about this but I'm not seeing her until friday so I need advice on how to handle this on my own.

It sounds like you my be disassociating though I'm not a professional and can diagnose anything. Do talk to your therapist.

i am like that too, at least when i was working. i was have been diagnosed with disorders, not to discourage you, but you could have any of several mental issues. or maybe not and you're just in the wrong field of work.
