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

Yesterday afternoon I had my psychologist appt. it was ok. We talked about loss of job and my psych. I told her I was angry with how he talks to me and thought it was time I told him.
my psych called in to see me late afternoon and after a few questions I decided to tell him that the last two times he saw me I was angry. I told him how hard this was for me to e plain my own opinion because I feel hes always right and I'm the child. He thanked me for speaking up and knew it was hard for me.
I walked out feeling ok with myself and thought wow that wasn't too bad!

I went out for lunch today with my D snd little A. Couldn't wait to see her got lots of hugs and kisses from her. Gee I love her so much.
then the boys and hubby came later in afternoon which was nice.
I'm leaving hospital Thursday and go straight to my new psych. We have a session booked. Then home. And Friday I see my GP.
im feeling ok going home but anxious about the future and money. I feel so responsible.
I had to have X-ray yesterday for abdominal pain - my colon is very blocked up. Now on extra meds to hrlp my bowels. My gastroenterologist came to see me tonight. He said stress is def a big factor. Have to see him in 2 weeks. Hoping things improve.

im tired yonight. Another birthday come and gone. It's frightening how quick the years are going.

chat tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a good night sleep.

Re: Need to vent

Thanks @Snowie ♥️
I did sleep ok even with stomach pains. My anxiety is starting to creep up again. It's not because I'm going hime tomorrow. It's because I'm worried about the future eith no job. Next week, the week after etc etc. .....

im knitting at the moment but it's a bit difficult to concentrate

Re: Need to vent

It must be hard hon @BlueBay to think about the future and what it will bring. We can try and just take it day by day but that doesn't stop our brain from thinking about what the future will bring.

Its good that you are trying to distract yourself with knitting.

Have you got anything else on today?

Re: Need to vent

I will keep knitting 🧶

Can't even go outside as it's raining. Some fresh would be nice.
Hope you have a nice day @Snowie ♥️
