...See more I recently just graduated and have been working in retail for almost 5 days. This is my very first job experience and I had no patient counselling/retails experience before I started my work so everything was new to me. I have been having sleepless nights for the past few days, feeling regretful, anxious, and crying. My problem with this profession is haven't taken a toll on how physically and mentally exhausting the job is. I'm afraid of making mistakes that could harm anyone and the company i'm working with. I have been beating myself lately as i've already graduated this profession and got my license, yet when I have to step up and work, I would feel so clueless. I feel like I know nothing about this job. Interaction and communication are one of the most important tools in retails, and they are also my own weakness. My problem is, everytime I have to talk to patient, I would feel so nervous, my anxiety starts to kick in and I'd forgot I would need to say. On my second day of work, I had no one to supervise me so I had to do the counselling alone. I'm so afraid and feeling a lot of regrets that I may have given a drug that could contraindicated to their condition. I was too anxious, it was my first counselling. I don't why my brain has stopped working right there and didn't say anything. I don't know why I was hesitating but everything stopped as soon as I was talking to the patient. I'm starting to think that this job is not for me. I've been feeling hopeless as I worked hard for this profession. My parents paid huge amount money for me and this is what i'm paying them for. I don't even know how I passed. I don't know what to do. I have no one to talk to about this. It's already been 5 days and I'm planning to quit the job as I can't handle and manage the pharmacy on my own and i'm afraid of making mistakes.
