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.

Hey there @BlueBay

There seems to be a number of things going on physically & emotionally, but just wondering with those physical symptoms whether it’s worth calling your GP for a visit?

Re: Need to vent

hi @Former-Member

I can't see him as I'm waiting for covid results. I've got the symptoms.
he's not there now. He said yesterday he'll call me tomorrow.
I feel so alone.
can't go to hospital because I have symptoms of covid

Suppose I just have to wait until tomorrow

i don't know what else to do

taking pain meds for headache but it's not helping my stomach pains

Re: Need to vent

hugs @BlueBay

how is your daughter and the girls coping with covid

sitting with you and hope you feel better soon but if you feel worse , you might just need to go to the hospital xx

Re: Need to vent

Oh I see @BlueBay - there is the national hotline for concerns etc relating to covid which I will just pop here in case you think calling them will be of use.
- National Coronavirus Helpline on 1800 020 080. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
But also calling 000 or going to an emergemcy dept for if things get worse for you.

But in terms of loneliness, being here on the forums might be of some distraction / help with connection with others perhaps??

I know when feeling rubbish (my words) it can be quite a challenge to lift my mood + feel connected.
What might help you today?

Re: Need to vent

All there results came back positive @Shaz51

But today they are fine

They need to isolate until Sunday

I'm pretty sure I'm positive as I was holding the girls while watching the fireworks.
