I don't know what to do.
I (25M) am currently working at a distribution company for about a month and a half. My work is to receive orders and encode it to the PoS system to be prepared for shipment. It starts at 8AM-5PM (8PM if the orders are that much) 6 days a week with minimum pay (600PhP/day) The work itself is not that daunting but the consequences of wrong serving may or may be harsh depending on the amount of the wrong item served.
At first I thought that this will be "the one" I'm looking for. But now I can feel the tightening of my chest every Monday (especially) and everytime I hear just a faint or any similarity to the pronounciation of my name. I feel scared even doing just a minor inconvenience to others and what they say or think about me.
The tought of quitting came to my mind hundreds of times but this is the only thing I have right now to help me and my family, I tell to myself that if I quit now what will I become, where do I go and all those negative thoughts.
I have worked a different (contractual) jobs but this is the only time I felt this way which troubles me everyday.
The worst thing is, I don't know what line of work will I be happy to be in, like to be excited or happy going to work instead of dreading every single second of it.
I haven't talked about this to my parents and I really don't want to end up doing that because I'm sure it will add to their burden already.
