How to get through the next 4 weeks?

[TheChild]

I'm in a job that has become unbearable. It's so busy there is barely time to breathe and I am now so tired of taking call after call hearing the same complaint from the same people.

I have a new internal job role which I really can't wait to move to, however my department have said they can't release me until the end of the month because we are so busy. I found out I was succesful getting the new role over 3 weeks ago and have had chase my team leader and HR to find out what was going on, so I feel I've been waiting an eternity.

Now I'm going I really can't stand the thought of being there. For the past 2 weeks I have cried before every shift, the night before work when I remember I have work the next day I feel sick. I've just been on the phone sobbing to DH because I just don't want to do it anymore.

I have struggled with my mental health a lot the past few years and I'm really struggling to cope, but I don't want any time off sick because I feel it would reflect poorly on me when I start my new role.

So how can I get through the next 4 weeks? Any survival tips please!

Try to not to think of it as the next four weeks. Break it down - get to lunch and then to dinner. That’s one day down. Then the same tomorrow. Before you know it you’ll have made it through a week. Good luck

Thank you! I need to get a calender and tick the days off, my longer shifts I just try and get to the next break and then the next break and then home time. I have to admit I cursed a fair few people when they were on hold because they were absolute arseholes. I know no one likes being on hold for a long time but it's not my fault! Being spoken to like rubbish half the day is so bloody wearing.
