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.

Hi everyone

Ended up in hospital last night with a BP of 195/84.
whsn we got there, there were 17 paramedics trolleys with patients waiting to be trisged. It was crazy. Stupid and the poor paramedics were all stuck there. They were very annoyed
afyer 4 hours on trolley I was seen by a doctor who said if my headache was better and my BPA was lower I coukd go hime. As it could take another few hours I decided I was ok to go home.
I didn't get home until 1am.
I felt horrible this morning actuslly sick in the stomach. I was very nervous but I got to work.
dsy was ok. I did csll lifeline before I started so I could get htlp with my anxiety. She was useless which was terrible.
I left work feeling not worthy

I don't know why.

Thsts low blood pressure @Shaz51

Do you feel lightheaded?
hood thst you got to have an afternoon nap. Sometimes our body tells us. We need to listen.
my anxiety is driving me crazy!!! My legs can't stop shaking.
When I got home after wirk I had a hot shower as my bsvk was very sore. I let the water run on my back.
I felt yuk with myself snd had to wipe my makeup off. I felt disgusted but don't understand why. I'm not excited about the job. Most people I think are excited about starting a new job. I'm not.
Im a bit worried about my back snd how I'll cope. Next week I've got 3 days 10-7. Big days.
im not sure. The only way for me to not wirk is to sell up snd move. And while prices of homes in our area are selling very close to $1,000,000 I think we are silly to not sell.
it would take the pressure off as we could pay our mortgage off.

im not happy. I'm anxious feel like I'm going to pass out a lot. But I think it's sll stress related. Last night I had discomfort in my chest but didn't tell hubby. I didn't want another hospital trip. But then I get scared.

hi @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @TideisTurning @MDT @Owlunar @saltandpepper and others

Ive woken up crying and haven't stopped. i am so overwhelmed, feel very depressed

i went straight to my GP to see if i could see someone, i just needed to tell someone that i am not doing great

i saw a different doctor and she said although it was good that i went to work yesterday i am probably doing too much to start off with.

so she gave me a certificate for today to rest and i spoke to my boss. i told him that i am overwhelmed with all the hours and i was honest with him. he appreciated myu honesty but said he needs reliability at short notice. that's not the type of job i wanted. i wasn't even told the hours at the interview, he had no idea.

so now i probably have stuffed it up,may lose my job. i don't know. he said maybe he will talk to me next week, so we'll see what happens.

if they are so desperatge for staff then maybe he needs to look at employing two people not one and having to relying on that one person.

i told him i am happy to be working and enjoy working there; it's just i am too overwhelmed.

i am home alone, little A may come over later. i took the dog for a play at the park which got me out of the hosue. i am not crying now. which is a good thing.
