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.

Oh @BlueBay

You have a lot to think about. I'm sorry people irl haven't reached out. Sadly people don't know what to say. I hear from no one irl. Think they assume my boys fine and life is roses!

Please try to focus on today, one day at a time. Focusing on the future, a new job etc will bring anxiety because you can't work on that today. Does that make sense?

Hugging you tightly @BlueBay, hoping the pain eases and you see your doc shortly.

Love and hugs to you 🤗❤️

hi @Snowie @Anastasia @Shaz51 @frog @Owlunar @Emelia8 @MDT


I think I have a flare up of diverticulitis. The medical doctor looking after me while here was called to check on me today. I started having abdo pain and thought it was a side effect from cholesterol meds. But he thinks it's diverticulitis. He's ordered an X-ray tomorrow and will also call my gastroenterologist to come and see me. At least I'm in the right place at the moment. if it's that I may need to stay in a bit longer. But will wait and see.
hubby came this morning for a while.
I finished the headband for littke A. It's so cute I hope she likes it.

Re: Need to vent

It's natural to be anxious @BlueBay but there is something to remember - it is so obvious but it's absolutely true

The only thing is life that is certain is that life is uncertain.

How often I will say in jest - Aw - I did not wake up this morning expecting that would happen" - but this is life. Most events are run-of-the-mill - losing your job like that moreso - a bit bigger. And it's true there are worse things and then there are the surprises - that's the way it is

Don't worry about the future - you can't be sure of what will happen - and it seems to me that you have a long way to go with your health. Anyone who gives you advice to the contrary doesn't know how ill you have been and how exhausting going to work has been for you. Then add looking for something else is a tall order right now.

We are hear for you and we certainly understand you - as far as possible we do anyway.

Take heart - you will be okay.
