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.

Thanks for your support @Faith-and-Hope @Maggie @MDT @Emelia8

I had a sleep before, feeling very drowsy and exhausted.

I checked my BP at home and it is extremely low for me, i don't get it. one minute it is really high and the next it is really low.

I'll monitor it tonight and tomorrow morning, if the same or worse I will go back to hospital.

i need to sort this out. I know myself how i feel and my body tells me when to take it easy and rest.

Hi @BlueBay

Transitional means changes and ambivalence is the confused way you feel when changes take place - and you feel scared and lack confidence. Your emotions convince you that you would feel better - you don't like it when you were in hospital and wish you weren't there but when you come home you wish you were back there - the same with your work and issues with your kids

Change is inevitable - you are right - dealing with change will help your confidence and no one thinks it's easy - it's tough

My son was troubled by change - he thought he would feel happy if things were different and if it was sensible I would change things - otherwise I didn't - I knew so little then - he was always unhappy and tried to run away from himself - that doesn't work

I am sorry you are feeling ill this weekend - take it easy and prepare your mind to have a better time at work - you can do It

I know - life itself is challenging

@Owlunar @Eve7 Thanks

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay

Let's hope that the doctor finds out what's causing the stomach problem - if you have an ulcer then it's really time they treated it - I really do hope that they can do something to help

I am wondering if you are still in hospital - I am sorry about the situation - and I know that people with mental health issues can slip through the cracks sometimes and this isn't good

All the best - and I hope you can get home and back to work asap -

Hi @Owlunar znd everyone

I can't remember what I last write. So yesterday I got to the hodpital about 3pm. They sgsin did the usual blood tests for the heart. They then transferred me to short stsy. No dinner no supper nothing. Only water. They kept me comfortable with strong pain meds. No breakfast or lunch today. Not even a damn coffee. And I really needed a coffee.
they finally did the ultrasound which the guy said he did find something but couldn't tell me.
they then said we're transferring me to a private hodpital where my gastroenterologist works.
the doctor said it's prob a stone had gone through a duct of the pancreas.
I'm scared worried. I googled before snd I really shouldn't have.
I'm now comfortable in my own room. No more sharing. And I'll see the specialist in the morning.
by the way I'm at the same private hospital I always go to.
