I recently put in my two weeks' notice at my hosting job at a local restaurant where I've worked for almost three years. As a college student, this job has been perfect for me; I could work 30-40 hours over just a few days, and my managers were incredibly supportive, even letting me study or read during slow times. However, I’ve been feeling stagnant and wanted to explore new opportunities, which led me to accept a position at a coffee shop closer to my new home. But after just three days at the new job, I felt overwhelmed and exhausted, working nearly 39 hours and struggling to keep up. The environment was much more hectic, and I was reminded to monitor my blood sugar levels due to my type 1 diabetes. This added stress made me question my decision. I found myself missing my old coworkers deeply, especially my managers, who have become like family to me. Now, I'm anxious about whether my old boss will take me back if I ask. I feel sick to my stomach and can’t sleep, constantly worrying about how I left and if I made the right choice. I realize that my attachment to my old job and the people there might not be typical, but it’s hard to shake off these feelings. I just want to feel secure again.
