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.

Really pleased to hear @BlueBay that you are being well treated and taken seriously. Also good to hear you are back in familiar surroundings and a private hospital room. Hope your consult with specialist tomorrow goes well and they can finally get on top of your health troubles.

Sending love your way. 💖

Hi @BlueBay

That sounds extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant - certainly not something I would like to have - better the devil we know I think but yes - I had a look on the internet - I have not looked into pancreatic disorders much before this - sounds icky - I am sorry about this

But I am glad you are having this investigated at last - you have been telling your doctor that you are not okay for a long time - and I guess in many cases we do go through this sort of thing from time to time - I did with my back issues way back in the past - but once I saw a surgeon it was taken seriously - so this is happening for you now and we all wish you the best

I am waiting to hear how you are going - and I hope you have a good book to read - that helped me a lot

Best wishes BlueBay

Morning @Shaz51 @Owlunar @Maggie @Faith-and-Hope @MDT @Zoe7 @Emelia8 and others following

update:

scan with a dye this morning

another different scan on Friday

these are to clearly see the gallbladder pancreas etc

strong meds are making me very drowsy

nurses are fantastic here very supportive and caring

I had a little cry last night. Anxiety and fear taking over.

I'm very scared that the results will be bad

but I was reassured by the nurses that my blood test results were all good
