Hey everyone
Hope you are all doing well! I havent really wrote here for a while besides in the triumph section(i guess thats a good thing) or to support other members but now I am asking for your guideance
A little rewind.....Over the past two summers (this is my third) I have been working at my families ice cream store(the owners are my step mom and two aunts)
The job goes from april until nov1st. I use to absolutely LOVE working here....but lately...not so much.
It went from being fun and enjoyable...to stressful, and gossipy and perfectionistict (sp?)

I am absoulutely EXHAUSTED!! I feel like all eyes are on me 24/7...they made me manager this and last year...and I feel like I am being taken advantage of...I am the only one thats ever on time...I am the only one who does almost well EVERYTHING. IM SICK OF IT!!

I dont know what to do anymore. I dont want to blame how anxious I am onto work..but its literally making me crazy
I go into work having an anxiety attack everyday....my stress has DEFINETLY increased..im tired...crabby....irritable...im taking on bad habits again like constantly checking in on my health..forgoting things all the time..and my fiance(who may I say has been there since DAY 1 of all my anxiety craziness) Is telling me that I lost my sense of humor and I am not fun anymore :-(
And the sad thing is..I KNOW....ive noticed this myself and thats why I came here. To ask for your help!!

My main questions...what should I do about my family?? Its not that easy telling people how you feel in a work enviorment when they are people you love. Should I look for another job??? ahhh im so confused..please help!!

Hello-

If the work is pulling you down, then I'd be looking around.

Family is the hardest. There is a good book called "Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend" that may help you separate yourself and realize that it's not loving you to be taking advantage of you. You may have to stand up for yourself and love them from afar for a bit.
