Work Anxieties 😢

Date: 9/2/2019

I was visiting a service user but kept forgetting how to do my job properly because I had been put under extreme amount of pressure to complete stuff in a certain amount of time. This service user wanted to pop over to the shop to post a letter. I knew I didn’t have time, but didn’t have the heart to say no, so off we went to the shop. When I entered the shop, I spotted my mum. I walked over to her and briefly said hello, but when I turned around this service user had done a disappearing act. After frantically pacing around, I eventually found him, dancing in one of the food aisles. “Come on!” I said. “We’d better get back. I’ve got to write your notes up!” Despite walking him home, I completely forgot to write up his notes and as I waited in town to see the next service user, I had a stern phone call from the boss, telling me that I am no longer allowed to do weekends because she doesn’t think I’m capable. When I put the phone down, I felt immensely sad and useless.
