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

Wow @BlueBay ! I love your crafty work! The bows are adorable! How talented! It's great you can make these things at home - and yes, perhaps sell them later.

As your meeting up with your friend. If you DO end up going, limit yourself from the beginning by saying you have to leave by whatever time. Don't let it drag on and on without an end time.

Also, another thing to note is that when you meet people in hospital or in mental health rehab centres, they are generally not the wellest of people. Hence, you need to protect yourself and sometimes consider, 'do they really need my contact number?' Please note, I'm not saying you can't make amazing connections and friendships during hospital stays, I'm more saying you need to make sure you also look after yourself.

So, whether you meet with the lady is totally up to you. You are NOT being selfish if you choose to limit your time with her, or you choose to say 'no thank you'.

Sometimes, maybe a quick phone call is enough?

Hugs,

BPDSurvivor

Re: Need to vent

i am NOT feeling good today

feeling really crap, not worthy of life or anything at all

feel like i have let down so many people in my life

i can't keep going like this

i feel like i have no friends who really care

i have a 'so called friend' who i worked with in pharmacy

when they sacked me she called me that night

i could barely talk to her as i was so angry and emotional

she told me she hoped this would not affect our friendship

has she checked in on me -NO

has she msg me to say hi how are you - NO

is she a 'real' friend - NO

i am angry at the world

the job i lost

the friendship tht i thought was good

is i feel not because i wouldn't do that do a friend

i am sorry

today is a particular sh/////t day

it is a day where i want to hurt myself

i am bashing myself up so much with negative torture

words in my head

telling me how f.......d i am

how mental i am

my GP told me today that i need to try to live and be happy

how the hell do i live 'happily'

i try every single day

but what else am i meant to do

i shouldn't write all this stuff on here

i will go

i am sorry

@BPDSurvivor @Emelia8 @MDT @oceangirl @Snowie @Shaz51

you don't need to reply if you don't want to

i know you are all working through your own stuff

and i don't want to be a burden on anyone

i don't want sympathy

all i really want is a hug 😞

i just don't know what to do anymore

i am so sorry i should leave

Re: Need to vent

I am so sorry that you are in such a state today @BlueBay . It sounds really hard.

You say that all you want is a hug. I dont have much to offer, but a hug I can manage.

Sent to you with concern, love and care.

Hey @BlueBay,

I'm so sorry to hear today feels really hard for you and you're struggling. I would like to commend youu for recognising and stating what you need- this allows all of us here to provide you with support that might be more effective for you in the moment. Thank you for that opportunity. 💙

As is, I can see there are a few others here with you. Please know that I too am sitting with you and wishing you whatever strength and courage you may need to get through this. You mentioned taking a little break- sometimes that can be helpful, and I want to encourage you to take that step back if you feel it will benefit you. Also to reach out for extra support if what you're experiencing starts to feel too distressing- there's Lifeline (13 11 14), Suicide Callback Service (1300 659 467), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) or SANE also has the Helpcentre and Peer Support service available if you'd just like to speak to someone 1:1 non-urgently.

All the very best BlueBay. I hope things improve for you soon
