Unstablity at workplace

[andy30]

Hey guys
In the past 2 years i have left 8 jobs on my own . The last job which i started on tuesday but there was too much interaction with other people. It was a big company the pay was also really good but i was feeling so uncomfortable that i gave them a excuse that i was not feeling well after lunch and i just ran home the only place i feel comfortable. Since then i havent gone back or called them once. I dont know how long this is going to go on . I have consulted Psychiatrists taken pills but nothing except drowsiness. I am here because i need help and specially i want to talk to my kind of people. Please help me as i have no idea as to what to do next.
Regards
Andy

i can relate to you. i quit about 6 jobs from 95-98 and haven't worked for 8 years. i've seen a psychiatrist for 8 years have taken 30 different medications and none have helped my disorder. the pain of being in constant fear was just too much and unbearable for me too.

Oh,I'm so sorry about you! I used to get very anxious at work too,but I overcame it,because I needed the money! Have you ever thought what is the thing that make you feel like this? Maybe if you aim at sth,you'll cope with it. I aimed at money and I did it. So,try to think sth positive,I don't know if you have already taken this advice and if it has helped.

andy30,

I can sooo relate to you. I just quit on saturday. I have no problem going out or doing work. It's dealing with people that gives me anxiety. Everybody is like a picky perfectionist who expects things to be done their way or else. Too much pressure for me.

I have to find work, so I'm thinking about jobs that I can do at home. Anybody have any good ideas for jobs that don't require contact with people?

thanks for your help,
back under my rock,
hiding

There has been so many times where I have just wanted to quit my current job (now in my 5th year). I often question myself- what's the point of putting my mind and body through 5 days of pain a week? Money, I guess.

I think the worst part, if you have SP, is starting a new job- you've just got to hold on and not quit, and then you 'settle' down into it, kind of. :?

I am comfortable at work when I am actually working and talking about work, but when the subject matter strays off to things like 'What did you do at the weekend' and so on, I'm well and truely stumped, when I get home from work I do absolutley nothing apart from watch TV or go on the Internet! This of course means I have little or nothing to talk about, apart from work!

But thats just me anyway.

When I first started the job I am in I wanted to quit a lot, but I knew it was a great job so I tried my damnest to not quit. Every day I would walk to work, it takes me 15 minutes to get there and every minute I would debate in my mind as to whether I would walk into work or just walk the other way and not go in. Lucky for me I am still there 4 years later. My point is that the first 6 months or so are by far the hardest for people like us and its during that time that we build up confidence in our duties at work. My primary job is giving advice/quotes/technical assistance over the phone to customers. Initially I was very anxious of the phone ringing because I assumed I would f**k up and do it wrong, but gradually as I got used to the procedures and learned more about the subject matter I no longer cared about the phone ringing because I knew I could most probably deal with it, thanks to my experience in the job.

It starts off hard, but gets easier if you can grit your teeth and wait out those first few months. I wish I could think of an easier way...

I am sorry but at that moment money is immaterial. The only thought that comes to my mind is to get out of there as fast as i can. Secondly its also the peak hours (Train, bus, traffic) that makes me nervous. I stand at the station and look at the crowded trains pass by. I just dont have the guts to get into it. Its the same situation like Bill Murray had in the movie "What About Bob". Only they made it humourous, while i fail to see any humour in my life style.

I definitely know what that feels like, it literally made me sick. My first proper job I got after I left school I quit in 3 months because it was just too hard to take. The three other jobs i've had since then were all temporary positions that gave me the confidence that i could stick it out for the couple of months that they needed me for and i would not see them again. That thought of having a date to work towards has helped me though i still fear taking up long-term positions.
Try looking for these kind of openings for a start. Or maybe try working for a business that only has a small amount of employees, much better than a large office or some terrible place like that.
Also, as others have said, just try to hold on for the first few months, i would guess it gets a little easier after you get into the flow and what is expected of you.
How about working from home? For computer-based jobs it is quite possible, but that is probably not you're field of work.

I used to feel scared about my work too. I'm a programmer and my job requires support duty for the program I'm taking care of. I was so afraid of complains that when phone rang or when I got new mail, my heart pumped very fast and it always took me several mins before I opened new item in my mail box. Those was like the first 6 months - 1 year of my working there. This is my first job and I've been doing it for 2 years now.And I have to say that familiarity will make you feel better, now I'm kinda used to it and not that scared anymore. There are still things that I'm still scared about but I always think that if I change job, would it be better? It might be worse.
