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.

Hi @BlueBay

Just arrived home a while ago. Looking through messages and noticed that you have not been feeling well this evening. I think that it is about 9.30 pm where you are and you may already have gone to bed.

I'll be here for 1/2 an hour, till about 7.00 pm my time in the West, about 10.00 pm your time, I think.

Happy to 'talk' with you if you think that it may help.

Cheers, @HenryX

Hi @Emelia8 and @Bow

Thanks to you both for support and acknowledgement. It appears that @BlueBay may be away from screen or possibly gone to bed.

Hope she will be feeling more settled tomorrow.

Best Wishes

Hi friends @oceangirl @HenryX @Jynx @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @Emelia8 @MDT @Sophia1 and others following -

thank you all for your support. I'm still in a bit of pain but I'm seeing my GP at 7am tomorrow morning. I now just want the surgery to fix it.

im a bit anxious snd overwhelmed with all these people out of lockdown and down here. I am staying hime. Don't want to see all these people.
I totally understand you @BPDSurvivor and @Judi9877

I think for me being home now for 3 months in my own home and where it's been quiet - to now go to this weekend being crazy with hundreds of people in our area - I'm overwhelmed. I just want to cocoon myself at home.
I'm also sad because even though we can now visit fsmily I still can't see my parents because they are only vax with one. There second one is middle December. So long to wait to see them.
Thanks @HenryX for staying up offering to chat to me last night. Sorry I went to bed.
hope everyone is doing ok.

Hello @BlueBay

You had quite a day yesterday with noisy hairdressers as well.

I find going out into any shop, hairdressing, supermarket, cafe all noisy these days..

I startle easily so I don't like them either..

You have been through quite an ordeal as well lately which adds to everything feeling more overwhelming..

I hope that your pain has settled with your hernia..

You do have the hospital emergency department as a back up plan if pain unbearable..

I also thought ringing the helplines that @Jynx mentioned very helpful..

I once rang a 24 hour health helpline and a registered nurse asked me several questions...

She was very good and I felt comfortable with her.

She reassured me that I did the right thing in ringing

that was the 1800 022 222

Re: Need to vent

Thanks @Sophia1

had a quiet day today

saw my granddaughter who was very cheeky and tired

she told me she doesn't love me and doesn't want me as her nonna !!! 😢😢

I told her I was upset and she got angry

so I left it

as we were leaving I gave her a hug and she turned around and said "Nonna I love you I'm sorry I said that before. I'll see you next week when I come over. I love you do much"

i told her "I understand I think you're tired and angry" gave her a big kiss snd hug.
she went to her dads yesterday snd always comes back sngry.
she's just 4 yet she knows how her emotions affect her.
laying on couch feeling like I want to be sick

Cannot wait to see my doctor in the morning
