It’s my 5th week at my new job and I already want to quit. WHY? As I started I was so excited and happy…It takes few days/weeks to get tired of something. I keep on telling myself it’s the same everywhere, but I started looking for another job…

This usually happens to me with new jobs, too. I start out excited, but then a few weeks in it gets harder. I’ve completed training, and everyone expects me to manage on my own, but I still feel like I need to ask loads of questions. I don’t feel confident at all and I wonder if the job is too hard for me. But then, after a few months, I find a good routine. I know what I’m supposed to do, and I begin to feel more competent.
If that’s what you’re feeling, then hold on, because it will pass. If you’re feeling more like this job is actively harming you, or people are treating you horribly, that might be more serious.

it’s been a week since I haven’t been well. I am seeing my doctor tonight. I am restless and anxious, I go for a smoke every hour, they will soon make me a remark. Sometimes I feel everybody’s laughing at me and they don’t like me. Everybody pretends they are a big deal. I don’t know if I can make it a few months. So far I need to make it on a daily basis. Even on hourly…

That sounds really rough. Do you have a mentor or supervisor at work that you can talk to? They might have advice for how to manage the stress of the job. At most of my jobs, there was a senior staff member I could go to with any questions or concerns.

I have something like a manager and she’s very kind and sweet - she’s the only person at the job that I like. But the thing is I don’t like neither the job neither my colleagues. I made friend with one who is crazier than I am and now I am hiding from her. My doctor didn’t come today.

I’m sorry. Did your doc reschedule your appointment for something soon? If not, you can call and explain that you really need to see them right away.
She said to go tomorrow at the same time. I just really needed help now…My fault I didn’t think about that earlier when the symptoms started

This sounds more serious than typical job stress to me. What aspects of the job are almost stressful to you?

The fact that nobody talks…8 hours…no socializing…and it’s very routine - almost mechanical work. I can’t help but notice all the thoughts that pass through my head. Often I tell myself I should use it as meditation…But seriously - I have never worked in a place where people don’t talk. Today I thought it’s better because if they talk they are usually arrogant assholes
