I struggle with work because I can't separate myself from my professional self. I couldn't when I worked with animals, in a kitchen, cashiering, maintenance, or fabrication. I think I've touched every corner of employment except for cubicles (focus issue). There's an element to a job that almost forces you to be outside of yourself to survive there, and I just can't do that. I get made fun of and then ignored for crying often and taking things personally. How does everyone else manage this? How do you separate yourself into a worksona? Is that a good thing? I know doctors and vets and people who experience death regularly in the workplace really have to get good at it, but what about being a cashier or a server and getting harassed and yelled at? I feel hopeless. I don't want to keep jumping jobs but I also don't want to be forced to do this every day. Has anyone else had to deal with this?
