It is so hardcore work
And they seriously expect perfectionism since the patients otherwise make comments
Right now I’m giving it a chance
As it’s just the start
But if it continues like this after like a month or whatever
I gotta go
I am feeling too stretched otherwise
For now I haven’t given up
Family are being encouraging too
Glad I’ve got two rest days on Monday
Just there’s so much to the job
It’s madness atm
But I hope to adjust
I wish you the best and hope your able to settle in. 
Thankyou Graybear that means a lot 
That’s too much! Enjoy your Monday off.
The most I’ve worked is 3 days a week but I was hired for part time.
I would have a hard time with 6 days now, drains you, hope it gets better for you
Thanks guys you awesome
I hope you can rest well on the coming weekend!
It’s tough working, it really is
I can relate. I just started a new job that I love. But I work 4 days in a row 10 hrs a day so far plus 4 hours on the 5th day. It hasn’t been easy. Don’t give up! You got this! If you have to take a step back its understandable but also think of the challenge you are conquering by working so hard. There may be other hidden benefits…
I had a job similar to that about 20 years ago. It was 4 days a week but 12 hour shifts. And they were the night shift. 8pm to 8am. It was a 6 month contract position then it was over.
The shifts at my current job are usually 5-7 hours and that is enough for me.
Just keep your eye on that brass ring, i.e. your paycheck!
I’m really impressed that you’re handling this well - you know you’re doing your best, but you’re able to see what your limit is.
I hope you adjust soon. Good luck!
Congratulations.i was also did school cleaning at perth and turkey.you need experience for do it right.don t give up.your mind will adjust itself
Good luck, and gonna reiterate the kudos for recognizing and respecting your limits
You’ll get better at it as time progresses. Maybe it’s possible to start with fewer hours and then increase over time. Are you interested in working part-time?
I admire people on here who can work with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. It can’t be easy. I used to work but I lost my job when I became unwell
Starting any new job is tiring, but when it is a physically demanding job that’s an extra huge adjustment. 6 days in a row is long! You’re doing amazing Mae. It does get easier
Congratulations on the new job @Inezinez and omg ten hours that’s a lot in one go. How do you manage? I guess cos you love the job that must help.
Yea I have to overcome this challenge
Perhaps. Lol. Will give it a full shot.
Really happy for you too.
Are you on a high dose of antipsychotic medium or low
Haha yea that helps a lot @77nick77!
Thankyou @LilyoftheValley
