Therapist recommended getting a new job immediately after one destroyed my mental health
(TW suicide) Since I’ve graduated HS I’ve had three jobs, one at wegmans in the pizza department which I got fired a week in (unrelated). Working as a Personal Support Worker, which was a nightmare and I’ll never go back, I quit immediately after training. Then most recently in a kitchen which was anxiety inducing and I quit my second day.
With the personal support worker job & kitchen job I’d have multiple panic attacks each shift, I’d normally hide out in the bathroom. Every single shift I had as a personal support worker I’d have panic attacks. Then the kitchen job my panic attacks were even worse than before. I had 5 in one 8 hour shift. I knew eventually I’d have gotten fired from that job anyways for not being able to physically handle it but 5 panic attacks in one shift isn’t normal and by the time I got home my mental health was destroyed so I quit the next day after attempting to drown myself in a bathtub.
Once my parents found out they started berating me saying everything from “I wish you were never born” to “your an embarrassment to me” “your suicide attempt was a cop out so you could stay on that phone of yours.”.
Immediately right after my therapist wanted me to find another job which I thought was really odd considering the fact I had an attempt on my life not even a week before..
