Need to vent

Need to vent

Hi everyone

I need to vent!!

I'm not coping

I'm not enjoying my new job. It's mundane, boring and triggering. For those who don't know, I was made redundant in my pharmacy job 4 days before Christmas. I then found a casual job at a supermarket. The job I do is very boring. I have far too much 'alone' time at work so my mind wanders to a lot of stuff. I asked my supervisor if i could learn the registers as thats what i would love to do. she replied that she couldn't until next year, don't know why as we are so short staffed and they need extras.

They advertise extra shifts or replacing a shift on facebook, which i really hate. but that's how they do it. i asked my supervisor if i could pick up extra shifts even though i don't know the registers. she replied yes thats fine that i would still do cleaning.

The other day a staff member posted she needed someone to do a shift. i was the first one tyo reply and accept the shift. another girl replied after me. the staff member replied back to me saying she would give that shift to the second girl as i don't know tyhe registers. I was so annoyed, angry and then upset. I feel used, and discriminated.

The problem is I am 'too scared' to confront my supervisor and ask again as i don't want the other member to get into gtrouble. so this means that i can't get any extra shifts until i learn the registers.

it is so wrong

the other issue i am having is seeing the old pharmacy customers. it's not an issue in that i see them, they love to talk. some still didn't know i had gone!!! but each time i see them and they say 'oh i am sorry to what happened to you' i get upset, hurt angry at the new owners. i miss the girls i used to work with and the job.

working for a much much bigger organisation is hard. there is so much clicks, so much politics and crap. i try to go in and do my job and go home.

but with so much time on my hands at work i start to think negatively.

i have recentyly had terrible vertigo, a 5 day migraine and today again another headache. i decided to call in sick and was spoken to so rude and short by the supervisor. it's like she doesn't believe me when i call in sick. and my anxiety is extremely high in having to ring her.

i don't have the confidence to leave and get another job. i feel i am not good enough

i am sorry to vent, i know a lot of you are struggling with your own issues. and that i should be thankful that i do have a job, as a lot of people have lost theirs.

Re: Need to vent

hi @MDT @saltandpepper @Shaz51 @Eve7 @BPDSurvivor @Owlunar @Emelia8

I've just left doctors. My thyroid is not good. Meds need to be increased. My blood pressure was over the roof. Extremely high. Meds changed. I now have to check my BP daily and if it's same I need to call him ASAP.
last time this happened I had to go to hospital.
this new GP is so caring. He listens. He said I need to work on self love. And if I get offered this pharmacy job to take it. Because my head is strongly telling me to not take it. To stsy home.
it's like my head is split into two. One side is very strong negative thinking and telling me what to do. I need to challenge my thoughts.

It is tough @BlueBay

There is only one way to do it and that is one day at a time - regardless of your choices. It does seem to me that you get anxious about things that are in the future and may never happen and it just makes life harder for you - and I understand that

Stress makes everything worse so you do need to practise self-love - I have written so much about this is the past - I'll see if I can find those threads and tag you back in.

Everything takes practice - self-love takes practice, thinking positive thoughts takes practice, living one day at a time takes practice. And patience - lots of patience - and stop being so hard on yourself

I wish you the best - I remember when I had too much stress in my life in the past - decades ago - it didn't help to worry about things. But it's useless to do so

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay Can u get back in to see the doc from today and talk to him about seeing a psych? Maybe he can do something?

Glad you had a good app at the docs though

Re: Need to vent

I thought you were supposed to go into hospital for a break @BlueBay - perhaps it's time to ring your psyche about that if it's still happening

It can help to have a break from things - I know you have transitional ambivalance so when you go into hospital is feels wrong and when you come home you wish you were still there - so next time be prepared for that and make the best of your break - give yourself time to rest and recover from what you have been through for the last months
