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.

Re: Need to vent

I'm sorry you feel so alone @BlueBay . I can empathise with you, because I too feel terribly alone. I hope your walk proves to be uplifting. Are you taking Jersey with you? Having a dog often helps to instigate interaction with other walkers you come across.

Re: Need to vent

Could you maybe think of the walk at the beach as a way for you to unravel the thought processes in your mind?
Be at peace I'm nature?
@BlueBay
I know what you mean about that feeling of loneliness being crushing.
I have experienced it.
There are ways to break it however

Sending love and support @BlueBay and hoping you are able to walk along the beach today.

Sun is shining here so I might try the beach walk too.

Hi @Emelia8 @Eve7 @MDT @Snowie @BPDSurvivor

No i don't take Jersey because she likes to 'go at other dogs' andn I get too anxious. So i go alone with some music in my ears.

Ok, so I did push myself out the door. I drove down the beach and went and bought a coffee, sat at a boatshed deck and just watched the beautiful calm blue water. there were a few boats out there. I then did walk for about 30 mins around the walking track side of the beach. i had my ear plugs so i listened to some music. Then i drove to Coles and bought dinner. so now home and i am - bored. I do need to wash Jersey though, so i will do that soon as it gets a little warmer.

i didn't realise until this morning just how lonely i feel. i have about 4 friends but they all work and also out of my 10km zone. One son is working and locked in his room; the other son worked night shift so he is fast asleep. So the house is very quiet.

Maybe this afternoon i will walk down the beach from home and walk along the water, get my feet wet. i am not sure, i am a homebody but lately i am very very lonely. i am sorry @Emelia8 i now understand how lonely you must be feeling, sending yoiu loving hugs.

i am not in crisis, i am okay - just lonely and bored and unmotivated. Next week hubby is taking theh week and we will redo our front garden, taking out the grass (only a small area) and replace with rocks and plants. So then there will be no need to mow at all.

ok, i will try and wash Jersey, she really needs a wash.

thanks again everyone for your support and care. i don't feel so lonely while on here chatting. it's just home where there is no one.

Re: Need to vent

My sons are having a political "discussion" right now grr @BlueBay but it's a change from the footy which has been relentless.

My grandkids are on their devices and I've finally put some washing on. I'm really tired today but will get into the housework soon and be a good "haus frau"!

I'm glad you're not lonely on here. It can be a great place to hang out.
