That £17 per hour looked good on paper, but the stress isn’t worth it for me. I don’t want to go back and it was only the first day. I can’t carry on. I am constantly on edge and anxious … patients coming in and calling constantly… I don’t think I can handle it. And trying just isn’t worth it. I can’t afford another episode.

Surely you can last more than one day. Think about it @anon25873142

Sad to hear that. I was hoping this was a right match.

I have done this type of work before. I was constantly on edge and paranoid the whole time… i thought id try but i am not good at multitasking… and the anxiety is so bad you’d know.

It’s normal to be anxious the first couple of weeks at a new job. Try one week before you throw in the towel.

The first day of work at any job for any person, sz or not, is always terrible.
It takes awhile to get settled in and get comfortable. And your boss knows that. Give it a chance. Don’t just quit because it was hard. It will get smoother, and your anxiety will hopefully calm down.

I am 100% certain I cannot do this. The more anxious I get the more paranoid I get. I don’t need extra meds or another hospital visit.

When I’m anxious I give myself permission to fail beforehand. I ask myself what’s the [realistically] worst that can happen if I mess up? If the consequence of failure is tolerable and I’m prepared for those consequences I handle myself a lot better!
No one can tell you what to do or what’s right for you, only you know. Trying, failing, and getting fired is embarrassing but not a big deal. Trying, failing, and having a breakdown is a big deal.
