I would appreciate prayers that my job situation get better soon. I’ve had such a miserable time in the world of work ever since I graduated college two years ago. I graduated with a B.S. degree that I was planning on using towards the healthcare field in further graduate school, but upon working for a little less than a year in the medical field, discovered I hated the entire field of medicine and then left it. I was so desperate to get out of the medical world that I was willing to try anything and had to take whatever I could get, so I now work as a receptionist for a commercial real estate company. The money and benefits are good, but this work stresses me out almost as much as the medical field did. I get so angry thinking about how everything has panned out for me so far in my career. I slaved away at a difficult undergrad degree thinking it’d all be worth it because I’d end up with a high-paying, cool job in medicine but I wound up despising everything about healthcare and quit it. And this degree is worthless on its own so I can’t use it for anything else. I left the field of medicine because I was tired of being stressed out, sleep-deprived, and forced to be around difficult people all the time. And here I am now in a different job and different field, where I’m still stressed out, sleep-deprived, and forced to interact with so many people all day. I’m stressed out and drained all the time because of this job, driving over an hour to get there every day, and I can’t quit it because I need the money. I’ve been applying for other positions but have gotten nothing so far. I’ve had such a hard time on this job, it’s a total mismatch for my personality, and I’ve been criticized and written up for not performing this job well. I’ve tried to improve in areas I’ve been criticized for, but it doesn’t get any easier for me because at the end of the day I’m not cut out for work that involves working with so many people given my extreme introversion. I’m so uncomfortable dealing with so many people all the time and get stressed out and have tried my best to get over it but can’t. I’ve cried so many tears of frustration over how things haven’t worked out for me in this, and am dreading the start of each new week to have to go through all of this junk all over again. I’ve been at this job for a year and a half now, and don’t know how much more I can take. Please pray for me that I can hang in there in the meantime and that whatever job is next for me will finally start to turn things around for good for me in the world of work. I’m tired of walking in from one bad situation to the next.
