Thanks everyone. I don't officially have a contract yet as the place I work for is quite disorganised (bad, I know) but I'm going to try and talk to my team leader about only doing 24 hour shifts at once because I just can't cope with more than that. I don't really want to bring up the mental health side of things but maybe I should.
All the people for this company work quite long hours because we're understaffed but it is really stressing me out. It makes me feel bad because if they can do it, why can't I? Another thing bothering me is that this isn't what I want to do with my life, it's just a stepping stone towards getting my doctorate, which makes it much harder to not get frustrated by the long hours.
I just don't want to make things difficult for the company! I'm still new and I don't want to make a fuss. Sorry if none of this made any sense and thank you all for your advice :)
