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.

Hugs @BlueBay .

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier.

Things have been a bit hectic on my side. I thought my brain was going to explode so i went for a sprint and came back a lot more refreshed.

I also had a mindfulness session with my psychologist. It helped immensely. I could defuse from my strong harmful emotions and focus on the present.

Not sure if the strats that worked for me will work for you.

I'm sitting with you,

Re: Need to vent

Sorry to hear @BlueBay that you are not getting the practical help you need with selling your handmade products.

Your surgery is tomorrow ... that seemed to come around so quickly. Of course you are nervous about it, anyone would be. I know I was last year. You need to put your faith in the medical professionals who are caring for you. You will be fine. For us, it seems so overwhelming. But for them ... they do this every day of their working life. They know exactly what they are doing, so you are in good hands.

What time do you need to be at the hospital tomorrow? I expect hubby will be taking you there?

My thoughts will be with you. And I look forward to a post op update once you feel up to posting again.

Emelia 😄🙏💖

Re: Need to vent

Thanks @Emelia8

I have to be there at 7am. It's great because the hospital is only 15 mins away from hime snd a good private hospital. Hubby is taking day off. He can't come in which is why I'm nervous. Then I'm staying overnight or longer if I'm in a lot of pain. But my GP has already given me a script for strong pain meds (I have them already) for when I come home. Then seeing my GP Friday morning to check dressing and see how I'm going. Depending on how I'm going hubby may take the rest of week off.
I just want my items online to sell before Christmas but the way it's going it'll be next Christmas!!!
So annoyed.
how are you Em? Xxxxx

Re: Need to vent

Looks like everything is all planned then @BlueBay you just have to turn up. Its nice that you have a good private hospital nearby.

How am I? Not sure how to answer that. I am healing well from my skin biopsy 3 weeks ago. It required stitching, but no further surgery. The dermatologist was able to treat the lesion with her freeze gun. Thankfully it was not a recurrence of the skin cancer I had removed 3 years ago. So that was a relief.

Regarding my back injury and severe pain since May. It had improved with nerve pain meds. But the past 2 weeks it has been getting worse again. I have an appointment with a spinal surgical specialist who comes up from Sydney occasionally. Want to talk about options, because I cant cope if pain gets as bad again, as what it was before. Much as I dont want spinal surgery, nor can I live indefinitely with this degree of pain.

Life is just really hard at present. There is other stuff going on too, which I wont go into.

Okay enough on me. Again ... I will be thinking of you.
