Congrats in the job, Iv! Breaks are important … lunchbreak, I’d be out of there and away from the staffroom environment, if there is one. It’s good to just be allowed to out your head down and get on with the job, as otherwise, if you’re one for wearing a mask(as in putting on a certain face or persona), this will be hard after awhile and may lead to burnout and the desire to escape. Having the routine of a job and the pay that goes hand in hand with that, is what meant I could move into my own apartment at 18.
Please look after yourself, try to eat right, sleep well and if you are struggling, don’t suffer in silence. Hope all goes well .
