New job messing me around

So i started a new job and agreed on the principle of a 35hr week. When I started I was told I would be expected to do a 40hr week. I feel like I have been duped because of this. And it made my anxiety and depression bad. I was poorly all of yesterday and also right now. It’s 3:50am and I can’t sleep as I am stressed.

Hello para86

I am so sorry you have had such a difficult time with your new job. I just hope the morning brings some relief for you. It is always stressful starting a new situation, so it is a positive thing that you started the job with all the other things you are coping with.

This is such a supportive community, so our members may have more suggestions and help for you.

Perhaps you could tell us more about how the anxiety affects you?

If you are going to work today, it might be helpful to talk about the hours with someone at work, possibly a manager or someone or knows more about your work contract or hours.

Do you have more support from a health worker or doctor, because they might offer you more support to?.

Let us know how things go today perhaps.

Take care best wishes

I woke up at 3am again and was super stressed, anxious and depressed. Decided to quit! Emailed agency and asked them to inform the client that i wouldn’t be coming in. It felt so empowering! I think I will do it more!

I’m not ready to get back to work i think. Still trying to recover from uni (dropped out last week monday!)
