Something’s not right

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.

Hey @Owlunar

this panic and anxiety is bringing me back to 10 yrs ago when i was thinking of telling my parents of my childhood abuse. This is exactly how i am feeling. I have done some slow breathing exercises.

I am doing these sabotage stuff to try and get out of going to work. Why? i don't know.

I think i should go for a walk.

it's our anniversary tomorrow, why is it me that has to organise the restaurant for lunch. he can think of a place too.

it would be so nice if he could surprise me with someone to go.

we are so grateful - our boys gave us money to go out for lunch. such good boys i have.

@saltandpepper LOL you don't want to get into trouble!!!

Re: Need to vent

Maybe tell him to organise something @BlueBay Sometimes, not me, but others, need to be told to do things... Always happy to do those things, but sometimes a nudge is needed. "Nudge" is too polite really.

I'm ok with getting into trouble for ya @BlueBay

Re: Need to vent

They are good boys @BlueBay and have a Happy Anniversary for tomorrow

I think I know why you are stressing - this new job is FANTASTIC - a great chance for you and the negative side of your brain is really having a field day - you don't need all this

After all what can go wrong between then and now? Whatever it is it's most unlikely or it might rain which is more likely - after all it's raining today

However the end is not yet - prove us all right - you will be okay

OK, i didn't go for a walk because it's raining. I have put dinner in the oven and I am on here. i will go now and do some mindfulness.

@Owlunar yes you're most likely right. I'll be back later on if i get a chance.
