Did a trial run in a new position but now stuck in it after expressing my dislike for it

For context, I have been with this company for about 5 years (retail). For those years, I have worked afternoons for 20-30 hours a week as a casual, which I liked. They asked me if I would like trying to work mornings as they thought I would fit a specific position that someone had just left. I said yes to trying it out, so I did 2 shifts in it and quickly told my manager I would like to go to back to my old position because I just wasn't comfortable with the work, – [anxiety flaring up (given tasks which are impossible in the time/ tasks I don't really know how to do), hate mornings and my entire social life is only at work with the workmates I work with in the afternoons.] They understood, but nothing happened.

The next day I told another manager, and he said that I have to work this position, and they are going to replace my old position. This is gutting, and I do not want to keep working this position, I would rather do anything but it. I was very good at this old position, and I miss it. I really don't wanna lose my job cause I actually somewhat like it, but this position isn't for me. I have been scheduled for the next month every week day and (most likely) for the rest of the year. I just have dread at all times about this, when I used to feel fine with my old position. I'm gonna ask one more time, but I don't know how that's gonna go. Any advice/ What would you do? Thanks.
