Antiwork

I don’t even know what to do anymore

I know it sounds cliche but I hate work. I have bounced around so many places because they are horrible to work at. I'm starting a new job and I feel like it's going to be soul-sucking. I'm okay with boredom sometimes but retail makes me want to bash my head into a wall and I'd rather be skinned alive than work in food again. Believe me, I can work with a lot of annoyances but all the jobs I've had have been horrendous. I went to a very dark place and almost did something stupid the summer before my junior year because of a lifeguard job that I would come crying home and have panic attacks every day, I was eventually allowed to quit and life got better.

I know it sounds cliche but I hate work. I have bounced around so many places because they are horrible to work at. I'm starting a new job and I feel like it's going to be soul-sucking. I'm okay with boredom sometimes but retail makes me want to bash my head into a wall and I'd rather be skinned alive than work in food again. Believe me, I can work with a lot of annoyances but all the jobs I've had have been horrendous. I went to a very dark place and almost did something stupid the summer before my junior year because of a lifeguard job that I would come crying home and have panic attacks every day, I was eventually allowed to quit and life got better. I've been paid to stand for hours on end in empty stores and been paid to be stressed out and bitched at while burning my hands on food, this is not how I would like to spend the rest of my life. I'm a theatre and music student in college and want to work in the industry but it seems like every job needs you to be an expert. I'm still learning and have imposter syndrome when it comes to my abilities. I'm lucky to have a family that's financially supporting me while I'm not working but it's very hard on them and we are already strapped for cash so I need a job. I'm lost in this limbo of needing money but quitting because I cannot physically or mentally deal with these sorts of jobs. Please suggest jobs that won't make me want to gouge my eyes out and that I could feasibly do.
