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.

Wow! @BlueBay !

Congratulations for your persistence and resilience!

10-7pm is a long shift. Remember to schedule in some self-care whether it breathing or some mindfulness activity.

All the best!

Re: Need to vent

Not feeling excited about work. I am starting next tuesday with a few extra shifts for next two weeks.

I'm feeling lightheaded as my blood pressure is still high. need to get it down asap.

I think once i start work i will see that i will fit in quite easily and that's half the battle. I am noticing that my self sabotage wants to take over; it's the anxiety from now until Tuesday.

Home alone today which is nice, just some peace and quiet. think i will go back to bed soon just to rest my body. maybe do a relaxing meditation.

Re: Need to vent

I have just emailed my psych. asking him if i can see him this week or someone else if he is busy. Or even if i can see a psychologist for a few weeks until august. i need to speak to someone. the waiting from now until next week is terrible. Lets hope he replies.

going to bed to try to calm down andn rest.

hi @Emelia8 @BPDSurvivor @saltandpepper @Shaz51 @Eve7 @Owlunar @MDT and others reading -

I emailed my psych asking if I could see him or someone else ASAP. He sent me a msg saying he booked me in to see someone else next Friday. He's on leave. At least I can see tbis psychologist until August when I can go back to the hodpital psychologist which is free. As I've reached the safety net I will get most of my money back once I pay. If I line this guy I may even stay. He's in the same rooms as my psych.
I also received a phone call before from another pharmacy asking if I was looking for wirk. She said she found my details on seek. She said she printed my resume and keep on file. Not sure how she got my details though.
I had the flu shot this morning. I stayed in bed most of the day. Just watching tv snd sleeping. Need to get my BP down. This morning it was 165/110. this gave me a headache so I had to try to relax
