I recently took a new role in my current company for a 6-month duration. It is a new role where I am a Co-Ordinator for my department (second manager to my co-workers). So far, it has been very isolating and makes me sad deep down inside. My co-workers treat me differently now compared to before where we could always have a laugh. I am the only one in my department in a management role besides my own manager. Even then, she will be doing another role next year to fill in temporarily and I will be by myself. My manager has taught me the basics, but I am trying to learn everything by myself as when I ask for her to teach me something she often forgets, and I do worry I am a nuisance. I have been very overwhelmed recently, and mostly sad. It is a short duration and thought it is great experience to have since I have recently graduated from university. The experience can be applied to different roles. In most of my breaks I call my boyfriend for some reassurance and company or text him. He makes sure to text me often which is endearing. I have a lot to learn in this role (it is an understatement of a lot), I feel very deeply isolated. I am not sure if I am mentally doing it to myself or not.

AskTransitioning to a new role can indeed feel isolating, especially when relationships shift. It's normal to feel overwhelmed, but focus on the positives: you're gaining valuable experience. Start by seeking mentorship outside your department or from industry peers. Building new professional connections can alleviate some of your feelings of isolation. Communicate openly with your manager about your need for guidance, framing it as vital to your success. Remember, it's okay to seek emotional support from loved ones. Don’t hesitate to allocate time for self-care and reflection to manage stress. Embrace this opportunity, and growth will follow.
