I'm too exhaused to even type this. I have started a new job and its a completely different career from what I'm used to. Its librarian work which you would think would suit me and sometimes it does but im used to being a teacher and the change to a new career, particularly after how badly I was discriminated against in my last job and the effect that had on me, has absolutley floored me.Since starting this job I have had so much fear every morning and evening and at the end of lunch breaks about going back. The wierd things are there are also times when i feel very calm there and enjoy the job.
Its difficult to describe the effect its having on me. the only time in my life I went through something similar was the change when I left retail to start teaching. Its very very hard to put into words what is going through my head but it is extremely painful
Any advice would be needed. I know it might pass when I get used to the job but I dont think I can stand this pain and suffering in the meantime
Well done for moving forwards Billy. I dislike fundamental change ... it takes time for me to acclimatize ... perhaps you just need to ride out the weirdness for a bit ... accept it as "normal" for you? ... acknowledge that it is just frigging tiring getting into a new "thing."
It will get easier I'm sure ... and less tiring mate.
Hang tough.
