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 sis @Shaz51 @oceangirl

I feel so sick and stressed. I'm sure stress is not helping. Financially we are stuffed. No money at sll.
I'm thinking a hodpital stsy is what I need. I'm seeing my GP in the morning. I am teary. I'm going to bed now. I'm achy all over. Weird feeling in my chest too.


@BlueBay One step at a time. Write up a plan to tackle your financial problem/issue. Those feelings you're experiencing are not nice and I can understand how you feel. I'm heading off to bed soon. Talk to you soon.

Hey @Shaz51

I wish i could feel better. instead of seeing my GP this morning he called me from home as he was not well (similar thing to what i have). He wanted to see how i was and i told him about my virus last week, Covid test and then got better for a few days but now crashing down again with a terrible swollen throat and glands. He sent me a script on my phone for penicillin and wants to see me on Friday at the clinic. The thing is i am allergic to penicillin (or have a reaction) but i told him was years and years ago; so i was ok to give it a try today and see if i react. he said this was the only med to help. so i am looking out for a rash or upset tummy.

He mentioned that the new psych i saw last week wrote him a 6 page report on my session. I thought geez 6 pages, what did she write!!! Didn't think there was that much to write about. He said she wrote a very detailed report on what my illness is and my issues; deep rooted issues with childhood sexual abuse and trauma. As well as depression, anxiety and BPD. He said he felt very confident with this new psych and he was happy for me to have her. i told him i was glad i had her too as i felt she listened to me and understood my issues.

i am home today, just went to the chemist for the medication. just resting today and tomorrow. not eating much, have no apetite but also too sore to swallow.

Financial stress is not good; i tend to panic and then think of the worst all the time. i just can't help it. I find that i worry all the time about little stuff and i know that some things are out of my control but i have trouble 'not controlling' as that is me. it's so hard. i just want life to be easier.

I guess you're the same @Shaz51 wasnting life to be easier. you have a lot on your plate too. you have some big decisions to make reg. building your house again or do you think you will live with your mum and that way you are there for her. I do understand what it's like to care for someone with dementia.

Hugs my sis i always care about you even though sometimes i don't respond. xxxxxoooo

Re: Need to vent

My medication is not good @Shaz51

I think I'm having a reaction where I'm wheezy. I wasn't wheezy before starting meds. I'm not taking another one tonight. I'll csll my GP tomorrow. But if I'm worse during the night I'll go to hospital.
I read up about the particular med and that's one of the side effect. Damn!!!

I hope mr Shaz is ok. How long before he comes down from the mania?
love you my special friend @Shaz51 ♥️

Still missing our dear friend @Owlunar xxx

Re: Need to vent

I had a terrible night, wheezy cough and my throat and neck swollen and very very sore. I feel so worn out, teary. Had to go and get another Covid test this morning (2 in one week).

Hearing that we may go into another lockdown is causing anxiety. This will be lockdown no 5. I am so over this as well.

I had to cancel yoga again, cancelled last week also. just when i feel like i really need yoga to relax, i can't go.

going to go back to bed, i feel like i need to release so much emotions right now. like i am holding in so many tears that they are coming out right now 😞
