I LOVE my current job, all the people there are amazing and I get along with them pretty well considering my social anxiety. It pays really well for entry level, there’s good benefits, the owners and management clearly care about us to a personal level, regular raises and we even have a ‘treat day’ every week. It’s amazing and I’m so proud of myself for working there when just a year ago I didn’t think I’d be able to work because of my anxiety, let alone a full-time job... but thats where my problem comes in. Along with anxiety I suffer with depression which is mostly not a problem and is taken care of with antidepressants. But of course with SAD it flares up really bad in the winter (I do take vitamin D and use a SAD lamp and even had my dosage raised this winter to help and it’s worked but not completely). And with SAD comes problems with anxiety management and yada yada yada. This job has been great to me, they’ve been understanding even when I took two weeks off due to my anxiety issues, but it’s a full-time job and they’re firm on that. Having two days off is standard I know, but it barely gives me time to recover let alone handle household cleaning and doctors appointments, so it leaves me feeling too drained to handle my before work and before bed anxiety. I want to stay at this job, but I don’t know how much longer I can. I took too many days off this year and if I take another one it’ll be my third strike and I’ll be fired. It’s not fair to them, they’re trying their best to help but they have a policy and they do rely on me being there regularly. I don’t want to quit, the way my work is set up is great for my anxiety, as it uses the same schedule each week and my work doesn’t involve talking to customers. I’m worried that moving to retail would most likely force me to talk to customers which can be even more draining, and obviously the pay drop wouldn’t be fun. What if it makes my anxiety worse because I gave into it by quitting? I’m so confused on what to do, I’m already struggling to get into work today. Any advice?
