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.

Good to hear from you @BlueBay 💕

Sounds like you are settled in now and making some progress with things. Good idea to get advice from legal aid too.

Sending a big hug through to you and also a bunch of flowers to brighten your room. I hope you have a vase there.

I just had a phone call from my GP. He was surprised how quick the hospital got me in.
He knew I lost my job because I left a msg for him. I just sobbed and told him how scared I am. Too many What ifs. Can't find job. Can't pay our bills. Sell our home. Lose our hime. He told me to calm down. I then told him I don't have any hope and all I can do right now is think of each hour. He agreed and said just concentrate minute by minute. Don't worry he will write a letter to centrelink to exclude me looking for wirk.
he said it sucks big time but he feels once I'm stronger in myself something bigger and better will come my way.
I told him I hope so. He's given me courage to keep going.

Hi my sister @BlueBay

I am so proud of you going into hospital and looking after yourself. To me it seems unfair that you have been sacked from your job. Glad you have a supportive psych, have you seen her since you have been admitted into hospital? I truly hope the hospital stay is positive for you and remember we are here with you my sister.

I'm angry I need to get out and release this anger

I'm hurting I have realised now that I don't have a job. Shouldn't have complained so much should I.
I have nothing. No money no job

how the hell do I get another job

anxiety set in again

last night I lost it as realising what happened with work. Nurse gave me a med to calm down and it zonked me out.
I think I was in shock first about the job. Now it's snger

I'm scared I'm really scared of the future

but I shouldn't worry because I don't know what will happen

no one knows

right now I'm trying to get through each hour as best I can
