I am a new grad been working at an outpatient peds clinic part time for about 3 months now. I had a couple weeks of training shadowing another new grad OT which was somewhat helpful. I initially was working full time - 3 days in the clinic and 2 days in medically fragile daycare center. The daycare center was not good for my mental health so I asked if I could only do clinic work so now I work 3 days a week part time. I am the only OT in my very small therapy/aba clinic and so I’ve been encouraged to text/email my bosses if I have questions, so far I haven’t run into anything too bad. However my anxiety has gotten so bad. I feel awful because it’s only 3 days a week and I should be able to handle it but I gag/cry every morning before work. My clinic is very close to my home so the commute is nice and it’s nice having autonomy as the only OT but I am also so stressed at the same time. I can’t pin point it exactly but I just dread going into work. I’m nervous to quit because what if I just need anxiety meds or therapy and I bring my anxiety to another job? Or what if I am lazy and just don’t want to work? Am I making the right decision to quit?
