What are some tips for working long hours 5 days a week?

I went from having a part-time job for many years to having no job, thanks to covid, to now thankfully having a full time job. They have me working 5 days a week. Going from barely working to suddenly working (and being in the same room all day) 5 day’s a week is quite an adjustment for me. I don’t want to seem weak, And I really do need the money—BUT I’m having moments of Panic about it! Any tips would be appreciated <3

Don't think about the 5 days but only from one day to the next and reward yourself with something special when you come home, treat yourself to something good to eat or drink, watch a good movie, relax on the sofa, or go out round walks when you have finished work. But very important: Just think from one day to the next, that always helps me a lot when I'm in a similar situation.

Just keep calm and carry on! I was off for 11 weeks and raring to go when I came back! If I can do anything to help keep me in a job right now, I’ll do it 😬

How many hours a day do you do?

Like 8 hours but I get there 30 min before. They’re very harsh about being on time plus I have to take a 30 minute so it’s more like 9 hours being there @SW-User
