Started a job I'm not fit enough to do. How to proceed?

Only depression if that is counted as one. I don't really have any interests or plans any more.

Sorry, but a 32 year old male, with no disabilities should easily be able to cope with this level of work.

I agree with your ex - man up and grow a pair.

Because everyone is the same and has had the same upbringing, right?

Proceed by goin to ur work every day, get on with it, get the skills you need to find a job u do like/want to do! Constantly thinking your not good enough will get you nowhere!

Take ownership of ur life! When I got my job I was against 1200 applicants, not for a second did I think I wasn't good enough, but I also put in huge efforts physically and mentally to make sure I was ready come my selection.

This could be a small step to get u somewhere u want to be! Don't find excuses not to do something, find a reason to do it and make ur life better. What is there to lose?

In fairness depending on severity depression can be considered a disability

I think you should stick with it too. It is always tough to adjust to a new job. The pay check at the end of the month helps enormously.

I'm terrible at riding bikes. Last one I had, the chain got stuck in the spokes and I had to carry it home. It's also a weird feeling riding one, I feel stupid and like everyone's watching me. And can't take it on the train unless it's a fold-up one.

If an interview popped up for another job, I doubt they'd let me go to it without letting me go completely and I'm a bit lost now because I don't know which job I'm best suited to.

Come on people, this whole thread is a joke, this guy is a troll.

More like you're a troll. Why not keep your nose out or just report the post if you think it doesn't belong here. There's always someone like you.

I wouldn't be so bored to create a thread for nothing.

Im also going to say to stick with it, what else you going to do if you didnt turn up ? There is a job out there your suited too. Maybe have a look at nat careers service, they have a skills health check you can have a look at, might help you.

I tend to agree. But a message to the OP if you aren't a troll - you will be more of a total failure if you give this job up rather than sticking it out and trying your best.

Totalfailure, I suffer from severe depression but it did not stop me starting a new job last Thursday. The thought of getting pay each week instead of JSA has lifted my mood considerably.

As others have said, now you are working you should find it easier to get another job.

Btw, have you looked into lift-sharing ?. It could be that someone from your kneck of the woods heads to the station around the same time as you.
