So I work at dollar general. and occasionally i have to lift heavy things. i have a history of bad joint and back pain (i'm 19). i get really depressed, angry, and frustrated when i have to do heavy lifting. however, communicating this to my mangers is extremely difficult because i get really anxious and experience really bad fight or flight response when I try to do so. i feel worried that i might get fired or that the manager i'm speaking to will explode at me-classic f or f. i've tried alternative solutions to lifting but usually my joint pain is still pretty bad-i really just like working at the cash register and interacting with customers. is there any way i can confront this issue, or a different way I could look at it to make it easier on me?
