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 @BlueBay ,

I can totally understand your concern, and it's really amazing how much our forum members care for one another.

There can be all sorts of reasons as to why someone may need to step away from the forums for a while. Hardships can sometimes come in waves and it can mean we have to disappear for a while. It's not uncommon for our members to sometimes take breaks and then return months later.

There's only so much we can do when we're worried about those we care about. Sometimes this involves choosing to look after ourselves, even when we're largely worried about someone else. I hope you can do something nice for yourself tonight, I can imagine Dec would want that for you as well

Re: Need to vent

Oh littke A is my delight. My love. My little beautiful girl. She's growing up too fast. Turning 4 in September. I had her Wednesday all day and night. Took out her for coffee and McDonald's for lunch. She was so excited. Then play at the park abd a walk. She is such a good helper. I gave her littke jobs and she thought she was big. She says to me "Nonna I love helping you. I can vac and put the dishes away I can help you"!!!

and every now and then she comes out and says "Nonna I love you so much you're the best". My heart melts. She is very close to me. I miss her a lot.

Glad to hear you're not too bad. Hope you can snuggle under your doona snd rest up.
chat later Em xxxx

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay ,

I've missed you too!

I'm so glad to hear you have been with Little A. How delightful!

I've been at a playcentre most of today, and have only just reached home. I took my neice and nephew to 2 of their friends' birthdays there. The kids had fun... I myself find the play centres too 'germy'... there are just kids everywhere!

Since I'm on school holidays, I also took them to the aquarium... they absolutely loved that!

Anyway, good to hear from you @BlueBay .

Take Care,

BPDSurvivor
