I hate my job but I don't know what to do. I've moved jobs 3 times over the past year trying to find the right role and my latest one is awful. I'm a carer and the work is draining and my colleagues are rude so I feel completely isolated. I feel I've chosen the wrong career path but I've moved so many times I don't know what to do at this stage. I had to go home early today due to anxiety and just feeling like I couldn't do it.
I don't know what to do. |

I've walked out of my CNA positions as I have had the same experiences as you.
It's never too late to change jobs and experience new things... It's depressing working there and I think I may be going back to it ![]() |

Eleny, sorry to read that. I don't think it matters how many times you have changed jobs, I think the most important is that you are feeling good and above all better about yourself. When you have anxiety and feel drained all the time it's definitely not a good place to be.
Sending peace to you. |

Care work is stressful IME, especially to caring people (I know that is an irony). I worked for a care provider and the hiring was constant which tells you something.
You gave it your best shot, that's all you can do, each job you will be learning a bit more about the world of work and yourself - look upon this period as being a step closer to finding a best fit job for you. |

Leave.
1999- went to work at a firm... basically I felt in my gut I needed to leave. I nicely told them and offered to work for my last few weeks. They stiffed me on pay. I moved on. But 10 years later the guy in charge was arrested for crimes he committed at work. 2006 got a job I hated but made myself stay because I felt I ran too much. And got stuck working for an abusive boss... worst time of my life. |

I spent many years as a CNA so I can relate. I was initially going to go to nursing school, but when that didn't work out I switched careers. I still work in healthcare, but now it's more administrative.

Thank you for your replies! I struggle everyday in there and dread going in. I need to go. The thing is I have a month notice period but I honestly don't think I could stay another month so I'm thinking of just leaving but I'm not sure how to do it? I just know I can't stay any longer

Give your one month notice and hope they let you go earlier? I think you'll feel better once you hand in your notice as you'll have an end date in sight.
Good luck! |

If you have any annual leave left to take maybe they can let you take that so it's in effect a shorter leave period?

I left the job. Sent an email to HR and said I wouldn't be coming back. I just can't face it, even though I know I should work the notice. And although I feel great relief I also feel scared and sad.
