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 my sister @BlueBay

I am sorry to hear you're struggling. But glad you have supportive people in your life. I can relate to how you're feeling and I do understand BPD. I had my psych appoitment today and that went well. I am hoping tomorrow to go for a walk it depends on the weather if not a walk I might go to the gym.

Re: Need to vent

I feel like this very flat mood isn't lifting @oceangirl

Three things I'll do tomorrow are:

1. Wash the sheets as it's windy and sunny

2. go for a walk

3. vac and mop the floors

lets see if I will be motivated and bothered to do these things.
hope you have a nice day tomorrow xxx

@BlueBay I feel the same but hopefully we can help by encouraging each other. My list looks the same as yours. We will see what we can do tomorrow. Is there much on TV tonight?

Sorry @oceangirl I forgot to reply last night.
geez I've got no motivation. I'm dressed and currently washing the bed sheets. It's sunny here today. I should go for a walk but I just can't get out the door.
I have to go to the shops and get my mum a birthday present. My son works near my parents so he'll drop present off tomorrow morning.
I csnt be stuffed.
my new psych rang me last night to see how I was and coping. She also had to chsnge time for my appt Thursday. I've never had a psych ring me directly. It's always been the receptionists. She's so caring.
ok the washing machine is finished. I'll go and hang sheets outside. Thst may motivate me to go out for a walk and shops.
what are you doing today?

Hello @BlueBay

What a lovely psych. I'm glad you've found her. I hope you get to have a walk. It's supposed to be glorious here today so I've suggested a walk with my boy during my lunch break ( I'm working from home). He's said he will, I hope he does.

Enjoy your day @BlueBay @oceangirl all here ☀️🌄🌻

Love you too @Snowie

I feel so isolated

I went to supermarket to get some flowers for mums birthday. And I felt really angry because i thought to myself I should have just stayed there and cleaned baskets. But that job wasn't stimulating enough. I came out of there and cried in the car. Feeling so hopeless.
I don't know what to do.
@Snowie

thanks @Anastasia for your support.
