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

What's the point in chatting with a Counsellor when they say "how can I support you "

I don't know. I'm struggling. How do I know how I want them to support me.

so I left. Told them I had to go.

Re: Need to vent

I can understand your frustration @BlueBay
When we're super emotionally heightened, it means our higher mental functions are in a sort of 'low-power-mode'. That means your ability to self-assess and make decisions is not going to be functioning too well. Thus, being asked questions like that may actually be very difficult to answer!

That's okay though, perhaps you're not in the right headspace for counselling like that. You can try again later if you like. For now, keeping things basic might be the way to go. Deep breathing, hot tea, gentle movements, distractions, change of environment, ground yourself with something comforting... Take it slow.

No need to be sorry @BlueBay

You're being too hard on yourself

You're capable and have many wonderful qualities.

@Jynx this is my vent

I hate my ex employer for sacking me. On one hand he told me I'm a good either thdn he sacks me because I had 3 sick days

a friend who works there has not called me to see how I sm. She told me she didn't know about me getting the sack. She's no friend.

i feel overwhelmed

I am feeling guilty

I've let down my hubby and family with no money coming in

I'm not losing weight even though I'm walking daily

I'm lonely at hime

I'm bored unmotivated do t care about stuff

I'm teary

I'm sad and angry


All I ever wanted was to be free from depression anxiety BPD

I can't think anymore

I'm exhausted

think I'll go

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay I hear you. You are dealing with a lot, in so many parts of your life; work, friends, family, and your inner world. Anyone would be overwhelmed, even without having to deal with all the trauma you're also having to wade through. You cannot be blamed for having to shoulder so much.

I think taking a breather is a good idea, get a little change of environment. Sending soothing thoughts
