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.

Has anyone here had shingles pain with no rash? @MDT @saltandpepper @Emelia8 @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Eve7 @BPDSurvivor and others


I had shingles quite a few years ago with a rash. this afternoon the pain is back in same spot but no rash. I'll have to csll my doctor tomorrow hopefully he'll see me.

ive been resting in bed again today. And late this afternoon the wind was less so I decided to rug up snd walk around the block. I had to get out and get some fresh air.

put dinner on this morning. Paprika chicken in slow cooker. It's looking snd tasting good.
can't wait for dinner.

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay ,

Thanks for tagging us in your post and for reaching out about how you are feeling and I have sent you an email to check in more privately.

Today is sounds like it is very overwhelming and exhausting. I hear you say you "couldn't care less if you weren't here anymore" and yet I have see how many of us here on the forums would feel very much the opposite way. There are a lot of people that care about you and I have seen you also share your care with so many other forum members.
I know today may be feeling like an incredibly tough day but we are all sitting with you.

Thanks @Former-Member @Emelia8

Don't think I can keep going. Keep fighting. I'm too tired of this life. It's all I do. Therspy therspy. Drs. Psychs. Hodpital. That's been my life for the past 11 years. I'm over it.
I'm over everything
