I’m getting stressed out from my work. There’s too many animals to look after by myself and I’m struggling. The owner just keeps adding bookings and I can’t take anymore. I work 5+ hours a day 6 days a week no sick pay or holiday pay. It’s less than minimum wage and all off the books.
It’s relaxing when it’s quiet but during our busy periods it’s just me and there’s not enough hours to complete it. I work alone and have to do it all within the time given. Today it was too much and now I’ve been given rabbits to care for. I’ve never looked after rabbits and tones of people were all talking to me at once so I couldn’t escape to breathe or think.
I have anxiety and ocd so I struggle in social situations and all I want is to keep everything the same and in the time frame. I don’t like change and I struggle with it so adding people and new animals is too much for me to handle.
A few years ago I had a mini stress induced stoke on the left side of my face and now I’m petrified to be stressed so that’s why I work alone. I’m on sertraline and anxiety meds. I have been for years to help me but I don’t want to be medicated for the rest of my life. I’m too stressed out and I’m just trying to figure it all out. But I’m scared to have another mini stroke. Any advice would be appreciated

If you can't ask your boss to employ someone else to help you it is a good idea to look for a less stressful job.
