I'm working at a new restaurant that it's having lot of problems. It's new and customers get angry because sincerely the experience there it's really awful. I usually work at other place but I've been sent there for a period of time (I don't know how much). And I'm getting lot of anxiety because of that. I know the only thing I can do it's don't stress, don't mind what clients say, and bear with it. But yesterday I got home after work and I end up crying. I'm not sure if I can cope with all this, and I can't find any solution from my bosses.
Do you have any suggestions? I'm really messed up right now.

DF,

I am sorry you have been sent into this stressful situation.:(

That sounds awful. I also get anxiety when people are not happy with something in connection to my work...and the problem isn't with me...and feels out of my control!

If you can't get out of this right away...at least try to find out the duration of time you'll be there, so you can see light at the end of the tunnel!

...and then use your coping skills before and after work to get you through!

Keep posting...vent if you need to...and know that we are sending encouragement. :)

S.C.

Oh how very frustrating! I agree with SC. Try to find a way to go in calm, and detox afterward. lol

It's tough to be the one taking the flack for others' lack of preparation.

Thanks a lot, guys. I only know probably next week I'll still be there. But no one it's telling me how long this will take. This Saturday I'll work the night shift and I'm really stressed about it, my shift will end at 8 a.m. and I'll get home around 9 a.m. I'm very scared I'll get very anxious there and won't be able to sleep anything. Also, clients are getting angrier and I'm told they are verbally abusing us on the night shifts.
I can take so much, but this is out of control. I can take the situation if something goes wrong with coworkers, and with bosses, but clients being this angry (and with reason) I just get really anxious, because I can't lie to their faces.

I'm sorry to hear this, it sure is frustrating and hard to deal with. I agree with SC and using some coping skills, before, during and after your shift should help you. Remember to use your breathing techniques. If you need to brush up on coping skills, take a look at the resources there are plenty there. :)
