So far my job has screwed up my sleep schedule, screwed up my eating schedule, made me sicker and made me thoroughly grumpy because I have to change my plans tomorrow to get stores done I didn't know I have to get done and I'm scared of more managers of stores yelling at me.

I hope this was a good idea.

EDIT: and screwed up my exercise schedule.

I have confidence that you'll deal much better after the first week or so. You'll get over the initial shock, you'll get past the work schedule into which you had no input, the store managers will learn that they don't need to yell at you to get your attention, and (if this is like most jobs) you'll learn what corners to cut and what essentials were left out of your training.

You may tire of it after a month or few, but right now I think you're experiencing just the startup hassle (which is more than at many other jobs). I hope you stay with it long enough to hit your stride, so that if (when) you leave it will have been your choice to leave the job behind, rather than you feeling you were chased off.

Anyone who yells at you, and I mean outright loses his/her temper, has already proven that they aren't very intelligent, nor do they have control over their emotions.

My Dad was a manager/supervisor for over 25 years and he very rarely raised his voice. Evert and I both spent time in the store when we kids, and later on worked for him when we were teenagers, and he had some of the most loyal employees I have ever seen. The remarkable thing is - we're talking about employees working for just above minimum wage making pizzas.

But it seems to me that you're fear isn't fear of being yelling at, it's a fear of rejection, which is typical among high achievers.
