Dreading work, asking for insights

...See more Hi, reading yall's posts have really encouraged me to share something, since i realised there are people who have likely come across the same situation as me and managed to resolve it. I hope i can get some insights from you all. So I'm a very young professional, a year or so out of college and into my first full-time role. I was lucky to land a well-paid position in corporate. However, downside is my field is quite niche so there is few substitute employers. Lately, my hapiness is low (likely) because of role misfit, lack of structured training during onboarding and personal friction. However, pressure is mounting. My responsibility are more in number and difficulty. I am scolded more, expected more. My co workers and managers are mean quite often, through humor, criticism, or neglect. There are also negative rumors which have surfaced. To the best of my ability, I have tried to learn from my seniors, avoid mistakes, complete tasks and keep office relationships at a professional level. However, the office situation is still very uncomfortable to me and my productivity/general mental well-being is suffering as a result. Everyday I dread going to work and the future in the field I've worked so hard for. I am exhausted mentally and physically. I feel like without work, I can sleep for days on end. Thank you for reading the post. I hope I can have some insights from people who has experienced/seen something similar. Take care!
