Antiwork

Work finally put me in the hospital not sure how much longer I can take this.

I (F22) have been working at a certain titular fried chicken restaurant for almost 4 years now. The last 2 as a manager. My job is high paced and very high stressed. While studying for my bachelors degree I only worked about 2/3 shifts a week which worked for me but as I’ve graduated I’m now full time so 5 9/10 hour shifts a week and I’m exhausted. I’ve been moved stores 2 times without my say so and while I took it in my stride it rocked me. I’ve worked at my current store for the last 8 months. While it started ok because part time and the store was quieter I am losing it. Staff are incompetent I’m always short staffed stuff is always breaking and a number of the staff don’t respect me I’m at my whits end. Today I think it finally over flowed. 2 hours…

Staff are incompetent I’m always short staffed stuff is always breaking and a number of the staff don’t respect me I’m at my whits end. Today I think it finally over flowed. 2 hours in to my shift I find myself on the ground chest pains not being able to breath and my head spinning. My boss who is actually lovely let me leave as I called the non emergency help line who directed me to ooh gp who sent me to a&e to double check and oh look I had a panic attack. Still feeling the symptoms 9 hours later and I’m wiped. This job is killing me. I keep telling myself to just push on because I’ll be back part time soon as I do my masters then in a year I’ll be on to a proper career but I don’t think I can. Temporarily I’ve self certified for a week off to try relax and then going to my actual doctor for a fit note. Idk how to carry on in this job. Any advice.
