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.

Re: Need to vent

So now I'm not allowed to speak to any doctors at the clinic. The receptionist as rude cold snd did not let me speak to any other doctor. She wxnted to know Whst the issue was snd said "you have already spoken to a dr this week do I don't think I you can agsin"!!!! WTF

I told her my cough is not good and I need something she said "well sorry but you can't see anyone"

WTF us wrong with people

I guess I'm the laughing stock of that clinic because they must know about my BPD and boundaries.

my cough is bad at night. All I want is a script for mixture to htlp. But oh no I can't because I've used my quota for seeing a doctor at that clinic.

how the f.... am I meant to get better. Stupid dr yesterday says no I don't believe in medicine for coughs. How would she like it if she couldn't sleep because of her cough for the past 4 days.

im so f...... angry right now.

I feel so abandoned by a profession that is supposed to care for the patients.

hey @BlueBay I'm sorry to hear you've had such a difficult time with getting to see your doctor.

Is there anything that might help to distract you right now? Calling a friend maybe?

it feels like they don't care

what medical clinic does that

oh that's right it's because I've got BPD with boundaries and whatever else it has

Re: Need to vent

I'm so sorry @BlueBay 😔💖

Can you take a few minutes to settle yourself. Nice calming breaths, in and out. May be difficult with the coughing, but do your best. Dont allow your discussion with the unhelpful receptionist to unravel you. She isnt worth it. But you are worth it @BlueBay . Breathe my friend. It wont all seem so bad once you calm yourself. Okay?

Re: Need to vent

hey @Emelia8 after chatting online with a counsellor and a short walk around the block in fresh air - I am ok.

Still not happy with what happened.

but on wednesday when i see my regular GP i am going to let him know and ask him if he told the receptionists that i can't see or speak to other doctors. and i need to know what happens when i am not well or getting worse - who do i turn to. i want him to know how it feels; how i am feeling. the thoughts of let down hugely has got me really angry this morning. i did think of writing to the clinic but i stopped because i would have said something bad.

i did go to the chemist earlier and got some cough mixture that i can tolerate with my stomach.

i was thinking before that if the receptionist had said 'sorry all doctors are fully booked today" - then i would have been okay and accedpted it. but the gfact that she spoke to me the way she did - that's what got me angry.

anyway, my daughter is coming round now, dropping of little A to her dad at a meeting point close to me. i will then go out for a coffee and maybe be bad and have some chips!!!

You know @Emelia8 i feel that if i didn't have a mental illness i would be treated differently at the doctors. it's my BPD that has a bad name and stigma.
