I worked under the table when I was 14-15 while going to school. I got super burned out and overworked until I eventually had a nervous breakdown and got caught self harming in the bathroom and was fired. I had been wanting to quit to focus on school for months but my mom said I couldn't because I had to “build up trust”.
I fell behind at school and my work proformance went down and I was in a constant state of stress for months. I'm 17 now and I work at a good job 5 days a week and I know it's not as bad as the first place but I've had anxiety about having to work because of the first job making me so miserable.
I get mild panic attacks seeing my name on the schedule still and I don't know how to make it stop. My moms efforts to “build a work ethic” has resulted in me fearing work and I used to have a very good work ethic before all of this happened.
