I quit my new job😢

...See more I quit my new job that I just got 2 weeks ago. I just can't do it anymore. I thought it would work out but I just can't handle the stress. I was told there would be more staff but a coworker said to me- did she (the unit manager) tell you there would be just 2 of you on nights? I said no she didn't and when she interviewed me and I complained about that being one of the reasons I left my last job, she said oh 2 isn't safe there has to be more. So I think she didn't tell the truth just so she could fill the position. But once I heard that, all the anxiety came back. So I don't know how this is all going to work out. I'm tired of worrying but I need a job without the level of stress my line of work brings anymore. Then earlier I saw on the news about the drummer from Foo Fighters died unexpectedly at 50 years old. Very sad to see that. Anyway, you guys on here are the only ones that know I quit my new job 🤦‍♀️

...See more Hi everyone, I finally got a new job! I will start on Mon the 14th so I am thankful for that. Now I just have to try and stay on top of my stress so it doesn't get out of control. But I will be glad to get a regular paycheck in a few weeks. Also, health insurance will kick in, in about a month so that's important too. Ok, I hope everyone is doing ok. Take care for now!

Need a new job

...See more Hi everyone, I had applied for quite a few different jobs. I definitely need something but I was called for 2 different interviews and declined both of them. I would have hated either of those jobs so didn't want to waste my time or theirs either. Ive been doing some doordash to get a little extra cash but I need a full time job. I did get my antidepressant med refilled and was able to buy them with the door dash money I earned. But I have a ton of bills so I have to take some job. I think this must be a nervous breakdown because I'm not functioning very well at all. My pets are keeping me here though so I'm ok. My house is a disgrace, a total mess but I don't even care and I don't have anyone that could help anyway. I had quit 3 jobs in a row before things got this bad. I just couldn't do it. I mean I was capable but mentally was caving in and couldn't do it. The few people I know have no idea how bad things are. Not that they could help anyway. Everyone is struggling anyway so I don't think there is much help to be gotten. I just have to get a job so I can pay these bills, that has to be my priority. Then I just have to find the strength to keep it and keep functioning. I hope I can do it this time or I will be in a financial mess I can't get out of.

...See more Hi everyone. This is my 2nd post here. I joined years ago but guess I didn't do much on here. Anyway, I am 58 and Ive been a nurse for 32 years. I quit my job a month ago because I just can't do it anymore. I havent told anyone yet because I just don't want to hear them telling me their advice when none of them have been in nursing. I need a job but cannot bring myself to go into healthcare. But I have to get some job. I would be ok with working in tractor supply or something. I don't care anymore as long as it's not working as a nurse. Anyway, hope everyone is ok today.
