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

@BlueBay your son is so lovely to buy you a book! I've read the Tatooist of Auschwitz as well — the book is bloody awesome! (Excuse French). I hope life get better for you. I haven't read through all the replies on this thread, but it sounds like you're still struggling and I hope your support network be it family, friends etc, can keep helping you find options and other strategies to get you through your rough patch. I sorry you lost your job recently, your new job sounds hectic and it's not nice being mistreated by staff members. I'll be thinking of you and since I come on to the forums nearly every day, I can enjoy read posts and comments knowing that life gets better eventually.

Re: Need to vent


@Owlunar I'm in agreeance there; sometimes you just can't express your feelings to family members because in some situations it gets us nowhere and can make the unresolved issues worse. Besides that I hope you're well!

Re: Need to vent

Why does my mum treat me like a child

invalidating me as an adult

I'm sitting out on the deck

having a coffee

thinking about my life

and dark thoughts pop in

is it too late

I'm scared confused

I feel like a failure right now

needing someone to hold me

I have no childhood memories

that are good

I have no childhood photos at all

nothing

i feel so invalidated

life is so wrong what people do to others

feeling really sorry for myself

is that bad

I don't know anymore

some times everything gets too much

and my mind can only take so much

I'm bored

can't be bothered

I took my meds

guess I should eat breakfast

I feel I'm stuck in a rut

of so much stress

that I don't know how to fix it

I wish I could hurt the people that hurt me

get them back for what they did

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay It sounds like things are very difficult this morning. Feeling invalidated is painful, especially when we are feeling invalidated by those closest to us.

It's really great that you took you're meds, just take it one step at a time. How does the rest of the day look?

We're here, listening and sitting with you

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Nothing to do

no motivation to move

just sitting waiting for the day to pass
