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.
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?
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
