    I feel like if you spend four months at a job and you're still not happy, you probably won't be. At some point you have to accept it may not be a good fit.

      Very true! Its better to get out early than devote time and energy to a job that depletes you

      You have a point.
      I've been at my job since December, and it is now April...when I was looking for new employment I wanted the opposite of what I am doing.
      I am blessed to be working during these times and feel guilty for complaining, but yeah.

    I'm in a similar situation. i regretted resigning from my old job. It was more bearable for my mental health but it pays less. I am now 3 weeks with my new job and its giving me anxiety everyday :/ I just can't afford to quit since I'm on an employment bond. I have no savings yet. But the pressure is getting to me. I am having negative thoughts everyday (random breakdowns in the bathroom). I am just overwhelmed with everything...

    • @art7426
      @art7426 Рік тому +3

      I understand these breakdowns, facing exactly this in my new job since day 1, it's been 4 months now.
      I had to start therapy bcuz i felt so low. I'm still struggling, but i realised all we need is to change our perspective towards it and to conciously know that we are right where we need to be and learn as much as we can. This isn't permanent, nothing in life is. This is a difficult phase and we need to make the most of it while it lasts.
      Many of our fears and anxiety at job is bcuz of our personal issues, we need to think about it and act on it every day to improve ourselves. We won't see the change everyday we work, but we will see drastic change suddenly when our minds are in the right place.
      Keep at it. You are doing great!

    I started a job as a Career Counselor for the state of Massachusetts in November.. And I was an employment specialist for 4 years prior... Job coach 12 years.... I've come to the conclusion that I'm burned out helping people. I'd rather be given work to do and not have to interact with customers/clients. The people that work there are great. But I'm already done mentally.

    i started a new job this week and the colleagues are nice don’t get me wrong but i just don’t envision myself here long term at all. everytime i go home i have a regretful feeling that i took it instead of going through other interviews. i literally accepted the job cause i just wanted to work but now idk if that was the right thing to do. my previous interviews never went so well mainly cause the work environment was not suited for me, too extroverted or could just tell id not fit in. current work environment is good it’s just the job doesn’t feel like it’s for me. luckily i’m on a one month probation so i’m gonna see how it goes and if i feel the same way i’ll just have to leave
