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.

What the hell is wrong with doctors and specialists. He knew and didn't tell me. Whst did he think that I would never find out. I can't believe he knew.
he had no words

he couldn't answer me

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay I’m sorry you are feeling so let down. Very understandable.

Do they have a treatment plan in place ?

You don’t have to answer at the moment. I realise it’s bad timing.

Sending 💕💕💕

Re: Need to vent

Hi @MDT @Maggie

What my GP has said is to have the gastroscopy and colonoscopy first and then he'll refer me to a gyno for the fibroid issue, which will prob be surgery. I'm just angry because had I known, i could have organised having this taken out while i was in hospital on both occasions.

It now means going into hsopital a second time next year, having surgery and having prob 6 weeks off work and have to be careful with heavy lifting.

We can't afford me having all this time off. I really don't know what to do. I thought I might go and see my GP tomorrow and ask if i can get a referral now, not next year. I want to start the process now, at least make an appt.

I'm angry because others do - except me!!

I can't wait to hear what the ED dept of the local public hospital have to say.

I have NO faith in hospital ED doctors anymore. This is the second time i have made a formal complaint about doctors in ED at this local hospital. The other time was a few years ago and i was seen by a young doctor who treated me like shit, like a child. had no idea of mental health or my pain.

I just don't know anymore.

Finances are dwindling very very quickly and I am scared we'll have none left soon.

I can't deal with all of these appointments, doctors, psychs, procedures and surgery. It's so overwhelming.

I have lost weight due to eating broth and nothing else for 4 days, which is a positive but prob not a good way to lose it.

Then the hospital stopped giving me my blood pressure tablets without the doctors knowing. The nurses decided that because my BP was on the low to good side that they would just stop. Don't they realise that because i was laying in bed for a week, of course it would go down. My GP was not happy because also my cardiologist had no idea.

Such a mess. Then there's the AD meds which were stopped and new ones started all at once. No tapering off. My GP again isn't happy about that because now my mood is everywhere. no wonder why i was such as mess yesterday and i still don't feel good.

i emailed my psych to alert him and his reply - contact your GP asap!!! WTF he is my psych. So i hate him now.

I feel I have been pulled from one end to the other and i am exhausted. i am so glad i am not going to work until after christmas. but this will now depend on how soon i can see a gyno to have surgery. i really don't want to wait too long, i want it sorted out asap.

Gosh, i have written a lot, i am sorry.
