I called my job adviser, she said it's fine, she'll contact the work place, and I'll be seeing her on friday to discuss it somemore. That worries me, but I do feel a tad better now. Just a tad.

I'm literally done. I cried again. On the bus home this time. I just don't know how to leave. I'll be so done in by the job centre.
Sounds like they are not good at supervision, only at what needs improvement and not in telling you what you are doing right or well. Remember, people who have done stuff a long time know how to do it and forget what it is like to not know how to to do.

I would go back to the job centre and see if you can talk to one of the same persons you talked to before, tell them you don't think this job is working out so well, you do not like it and seem to be getting a lot of criticism, do they have any other jobs you might qualify for that have a little less customer service (stock clerk might be good or a job in a library (lots of public organizations have libraries too, like large law firms, etc.) or file clerk perhaps, something like that).

There may be something to letting yourself cry, to being uncomfortable, and hanging in there. Don't know. ...I would try to hang on till you find something else at least. ...I think it is OK to play a role for a while...sometimes it becomes your own, sometimes not---acting is a respectable job...who says you can't use those kind of skills in other lines of work?
The workplace is very hard for me. Several months ago, I took a job that was my second choice. In my heart I struggled with it for almost three months before I started to feel comfortable with it. I still wish I could have gotten my first choice in a job. But if I don't I think I may be ok anyway.

Icry, Iīm truely sorry for you. I think I can imagine how you feel!
Iīve always had some sort of social anxiety. But with mental illness, this can get so much worse.

Are you in therapy? If not, is there a way to get it?
Your therapist would help you with this situation and support you and that can be so valuble. I think that some people are introverts and some are shy naturally.

However, with therapy you can raise self-esteem and assertiveness and it will be less distressing to be and work with people.

Youīre not feeling bad because of you, but because of your depression.

Until you get better, maybe thereīs a way where you can work from home or someplace where you work by yourself most of the time, even if you see other people from time to time. Like an office job.

I donīt know if this is relevant for you, but delivery comes to my mind.
E.g. mail people donīt usually have to interact with people, I think...?

Donīt give up and if you have any chance at all, donīt do anything that makes you feel worse.
Thanks for this!

I'm going to the doctors next Monday. I also spoke to my job adviser the other day. She's okay that I left, turns out there was also another girl there who was having the same problems with the place. My job adviser also asked me about my mental health, it's strange that she noticed that I seemed 'down' but kind of nice too. She asked me if I was seeing anyone, and spoke to me about some mental health organization. She's so understanding and supportive. She's going to help me find some other work type experience thing, it will most likely still be for retail. There's not a lot of jobs out there these days.
