Was hired at my first job, and I had my first day of actual work today! I got so overwhelmed so quickly and now I feel like I should quit. I felt like such a pathetic waste of space when my coworkers were hard at work

don’t feel bad! i remember my first food service job was before my diagnosis and i was just so effing overwhelmed by all the things i had to balance and it seemed like everyone else was fine. you WILL work though it, especially as you learn to develop routines, i promise you that YOU will become one of the most efficient workers bc of your neurospicy powers, it just takes time

It was all so fast paced and I thought I was ready. I almost feel embarrassed trying to work tomorrow

Hey there’s no need to be embarrassed at all! There’s always a learning curve in every job, from being the ceo of a big company all the way to fast food. Especially if this is your first job, give yourself some grace. You now know what to expect, so you’ll be more prepared tomorrow. Go in with an open mind ready to learn, and you’ll do great! I’d say give yourself a month to get used to it and find your rhythm, and if you still hate it after a month then you can quit.
