[QUOTE="LucyLou1997, post: 1999705, member: 501288"] There are plenty of colleagues to talk to, I just would not trust them. They're the kind of people that will act supportive to your face, but then talk **** behind your back. I don't know, there may be a few but I have yet to find someone I fully trust. I have only been there a few months though. My issue is that I've had a lot of jobs since I left school. In fairness some were just temporary contracts, but I'm in this loop of not being able to settle. I have walked out of places that treated me like dirt, but this one just seems more difficult to do due to this offer needing to do background checks for 5 years, I don't want these guys saying "she walked out on us" as it'll look bad on my part. But at the same time I don't want to be stressed 24/7. I will definitely go up the surgery first thing tomorrow though, I forgot they do telephone appointments too so even if they can assess me there I'd be more than happy with that. Thank you for the advice :) Jeremy Kyle is the best way to describe it. It's embarrassing really. I have a lot of respect for the people who can put up with it, I just can't. I don't see how threatening people will get you anywhere. I love challenges too, but admittedly I think this was throwing myself in the deep end a bit. I think this is my main problem, it's not that I'm not cut out for it, I think if there was some sort of policy in place to encourage people not to use physical violence I'd be OK. I've had 4 years of retail experience, I've been called all different names but never once have I been physically threatened. That's more than likely the problem here. But as I stated above, my issue is probably not knowing what I want to do. I'm just trying to get secured financially but not thinking about what I would genuinely like to do as a career. I'm a firm believer that it is never too late to do whatever you want to do (go to college, start a family etc) but knowing what to do is difficult these days and having the time and funds to do it. Thank you all so much for your advice though, I really appreciate it. I will be taking myself to the doctors first thing tomorrow morning to get something sorted, I've just got to pluck up the courage to call in sick tomorrow now :S [/QUOTE]
