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.

@BlueBay Contact from family in Italy, that’s exciting.

I can understand the overwhelming feelings with appointments. Added to that, Christmas week. I hope they all work out ok.

Good luck with the cake. Something I find very difficult to do. The kitchen is not my favourite place.

Enjoy little A, she brings some magic in the chaos.

Hey @BlueBay . Just sitting here with you at the moment thinking positive thoughts. I know it is tough right now and very stressful but you are a strong person and you will get through this. I believe in you!

Take care BlueBay and stay safe forumite!

Re: Need to vent

I'm glad to hear that things are falling into place for you @BlueBay , at least regarding medical procedures. 15th January is not far away when you take into account all the holidays between now and then. Also good that you will not be saddled with any additional costs for these in-hospital procedures. That was thankfully the case for me too with my recent surgery.

Of course you are nervous! Thats all very natural. But you will get through it and all will be fine. You certainly do have a lot on your mind, and I feel for you in that regard. Try to get through each thing individually and, before you know it, it will all be over and done with.

Sending comforting hugs your way and lots of love.

Re: Need to vent

Thank you both @Emelia8 @Judi9877 for your replies.
it's a relief no charges for the anaesthest

the only payment I'll need to pay is my $250 excess payment. But that is a one off payment for the whole year. So when I have the hysterectomy (possibly) I won't need to pay excess again.

Since been in hodpital my Bp is an issue. It's dropping too low. I'm normally on the high side. I think it could possibly be a new med the cardiologist put me on.
Ive been feeling like I'm floating all day. I checked my BP and it's 102/50. This is extremely low for me. So I called my gp and I need to stop my bp med znd see him next week. I need to be careful I don't faint.
go slow.

Morning friends @Emelia8 @Judi9877 @Maggie @MDT @Owlunar @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope and others

I need to vent!!!!!

Today hubby is home so I thought it would be a good opportunity to visit my parents before christmas. The answser was 'no we won't be home' !!! Where the f..k do they go - nowhere. they are home, i know they are; it's her. it is her that makes up these excuses. every single i want to go over; there she is again with an excuse.

well now they can wait until after Christmas, when it suits me. I am so over her so much. A mother, what mother is she. who doesn't want to see their own children. apparently my mother doesn't want to see me.

And again - my poort dad 😞

Re: Need to vent

Could you bring that up with her? @BlueBay

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

hey @MDT

no I can't. she is very domineering and really a bully!!

she decides when it's right for her to have me go over. So now i am not going when she wants me to.

i struggle with her 'pushing my buttons' all the time

I guess i need to learn to accept her the way she is - but it's really hard. because in my head she is my mum, a mother who should love and adore her children no matter what. but my mother is very different to 'normal mums' - like me.

i am completely different to her, much different.

Re: Need to vent

Hmm I am not sure my friend @BlueBay
I hate to see you so confused and worried.
Take care and I hope you get to the bottom of it
