Open Question: From Dream Job to anxiety over "going to work!" Need advice!?
14 May
For 5 years I worked at a wonderful job and was very motivated to go to work every single day. I loved what I did and I felt such job satisfaction. I was one of those “lucky ones” that could actually say they loved their job.
When I was going through my divorce, I was also going to school (and working at my dream job) and I lost my job after my boss forced me out because she didn’t want to employ someone who could not work for her full-time. It was a devestating blow emotionally.
I now work as a Pharm Tech and being a new girl on the block has brought extreme anxiety- I am sure it’s typical new employee nervousness. Yet, it just seems that I went from being this ooper-bubbly, motivated professional (when I was working my dream job) to being this nervous, high anxious, “dread-work” mentality and the only explanation that I can come up with is because this work that I am doing now is simply, “just a job.” I have not gotten one ounce of job satisfaction; but rather feel extremely stressed while doing my job duties. My manager expressed that he would have a buddy-system for me so that I can work with someone who I ASSUMED would help to further train and develop my knowledge and skills, and I would have someone there to assist me, observe what I was doing so that I was conducting work procedures correctly. I almost feel like I am just “doing the work” and if I have a question, I just have to ask and if I am not doing something right, they might point it out.
I know that a part of me is still grieving over the loss of that job to a degree- like, that job set the bar for anything else I will do unless I find a job that really captures my spirit again. What advice can you give me with regards to getting through this anxiety and when does a person get to the point where they just realize “this job isn’t for me” and leaving is the best thing (which is my LAST resort!).
Thanks!
