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

hello @BlueBay

I am hoping that you have had your doctor's appointment this morning and are being taken care of ...

I read about your experience with your grandchild and their honesty..

My younger son was very open like that and my mum struggled with it believing it to be rude.

My mum who was Nana and his dad's mum who was Nonna took it in turns looking after him over the days that I worked as my older son was at school then.

One day when I arrived home, she told me that he had been rude to her. I asked about what had happened.

She apparently told him off for not taking his shoes off after playing in the sandpit outside..

she told me that when she told him off he replied "Go home Nana,....you are not my mummy".

I can understand her thinking that he was rude however to me he was speaking as he felt as a 4 year old.

It sounds as though your grandchild is beautiful and has the honesty trait.

I understand this well ...

I have this trait..as does my younger son..my older son has it also ...just does not express due to his communication issues...

Your grandchild also made a point of saying sorry and telling you how much she loves you...Total honesty

She sounds as though she has empathy just like her Nonna.

I believe that you have a wonderful relationship with her...

She loves and trusts you..

I hope that you have found some comfort from your physical symptoms of the hernia or there are some plans to help you..

You have your forum friends here supporting you..

Just as you support them in their need..

Look after yourself lovely bluebay..

Hello @BlueBay

If you are in the emergency department ...you are in the best place...

I know that it would not feel that way though..

They can monitor your pain levels....nausea....hydration and general health..

hot and cold might mean fever...again they will be watching that...

You have a very good doctor...try to hang onto that...a doctor who listens and cares...

have you got anyone there with you?

If not well enough to respond please do not..

You are the most important person right now..

Sophia

Hello @BlueBay

Needless to say, I am disappointed that you have experienced these feelings and circumstances.

However, very pleased that you have taken what appears to be the appropriate course of action in seeking assistance and going to ED.

With My Very Best Wishes

Hi @oceangirl @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51 @HenryX @Sophia1 @Emelia8 @MDT and others reading -

where do I start?? So much going on.
yesterday - I got the referral from my GP to see surgeon. Got a phone consult with surgeon next Thursday.
Ended up in ED yesterday afternoon with nausea and pain. Had to wait 4 hours until I saw a doctor. The doctor was grest. Gave me strong pain meds and tests. Results came back I had no infection so after another few hours I was allowed to go home.

DBT group - received a phone csll yesterday reg group therapy. The funding I have to do DBT covers both group and single sessions. But I only get 10 free sessions so that would be used up in 5 weeks as I would have to go twice a week. If I used tbe funding for single sessions I would then have to pay $100 weekly for group. This I cannot afford. We are financially not in a good position.
so there goes that idea!!
im angry, frustrated snd feel that every time something good comes up it goes fown straightaway. So disappointed. I'm expecting a phone csll tidsy from the co-ordinator.

I need to go - there's more yo say. I'll be back.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I'm back 😊

I'm not even sure if I can have surgery atm because of covid surgeries have been severely reduced. I hope after speaking to the surgeon I can have it done ASAP.

so I ended up calling private health insurance to come off suspension so I will be covered for surgery. But issue is once I come off suspension I have to wait 6 months to go back on. So I'm back to square one with no savings.
I'm so annoyed and upset because it feels that nothing is going my way.

new med - started thst yesterday. Let's hope this helps.

my mum - I'm angry at her comments this morning. She says "oh it's better if you don't have the surgery" no mum I need to have it.
then we talked about little girl missing in WA. She says "oh years ago it was different we knew where our kids were" - really?? where were you when I was sexually abused by my brother. Where were you when I was abused by my uncle. Where were you. Where were you when I needed you the most. Where??
I can't believe her stupidity. Her comments.

So this morning im feeling emotional angry and still a bit sick. I'm going to call surgeon this morning to let him know about yesterday. He may even try to call me earlier.
