feelings of dread at work

I’m not really good with words so i apologise if I don’t explain this very well.

I’ve only ever had two paid jobs (both part time). And the second one I started about a month ago. To clarify, I do want to work and need to work to support myself financially. At both jobs I have never felt the feeling of dread so much. I really don’t like new things at all, like new place, new people, new environment and experiences. The staff are so moody all the time when I ask for help or just clarification because I really don’t like doing things wrong. I don’t fully understand everything yet but I felt like such a hinderance asking the same questions all the time. When I also get overwhelmed I get really upset, and the whole day today I’ve nonstop thought about having to go to work tomorrow, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I can’t even explain what I feel I just get so overwhelmed to the point where I feel sick and then just numb. If I try and talk to the manager he just tells me to suck it up, ignores it, or to ask for help even though I do and I just seem to get fobbed off. Also if I ask my family to speak to the manager he won’t even let them because I am my own person which is fair, but I cannot speak to him myself (again feeling too stupid to talk to him). My family work there too but they don’t understand my feelings either. They just tells me to quit because I’m acting stupid (probably wants me to leave so I don’t make her look bad). I try and just keep my head down and just get through but it just goes 10x slower. I don’t know I just feel like no one understands and it’s really overwhelming and I’m just exhausted with it :(

new to commonplacing!

hey! i’m new to commonplacing and it looks really fun! i have some topic ideas to add to a key in the front of it and i was wondering if anyone had anymore or that any of mine would actually go in a commonplace book? i just get overwhelmed with straight journaling about my feelings so if i mix and match i think i would stick to it more? these are my topics currently:

- personal feelings/venting
- how to’s/tutorials
- book quotes
- music lyrics
- animal/wildlife information
- memories
- exercise plans/ what i’ve done

first job in retail (replenishment)

hi, i’ve recently got a job in replenishment at morrisons and i am very nervous to start. can anyone tell me what sorts of things id be doing and what will happen on my first shift/few shifts. i’ve heard that replenishment staff get loved around departments quite a lot and i don’t really like working the bakery or deli sections, anything else id be happy to do. speaking of this, what is the likelihood of overtime, and doing some picking shifts too? but yeah can anyone give any insight please? any help is greatly appreciated, yours sincerely a very nervous person :)

Commuting for Masters

I am thinking of doing a MSc degree at Manchester Met in September and I do not have enough to fund accommodation there so I will be commuting from Birmingham. I will only be at uni approx. 2 days a week (hopefully consecutively and lectures will be 5pm-8pm. I don’t know if it’ll be better for me to get a hotel overnight, but I fear the cost weekly will add up. I also get the opportunity to spend a 2 weeks (1 week in one sem and then 1 week) at another site. Do we think this is feasible. It’s the only place apart from plymouth that offers this masters and I feel I could do the commute but I don’t know financially. I would get the coach but it’ll be midnight before I even get home. Parking is also another issue as there isn’t any really onsite and as a loner effectively I’m a bit worried walking around manchester at night and it being still unfamiliar! Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

help me get back into long walks

this is probably going to sound extremely lazy but how do i get back into actually going outside and walking for at least like an hour a day. for context i lost my grandad in the last year of uni and this completely destroyed me. so much so i don’t really go out. i don’t work currently because there are hardly any jobs going so i also think this lack of routine has contributed to me not really doing much. i don’t not do anything deliberately, i’m really trying but i just cannot get motivated :(
