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

@Shaz51 I don’t know what’s going on

I’m scared but don’t know what or why

I’m dissociating a bit at times

I’m sorry you have so much on your plate. It’s ok. You don’t need to reply. How is your mum today?

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay Sucks when the brain is sending all the fear signals, telling you you're in danger, to run, to hide... but there's nothing there. So you are just sitting with this seemingly unshakeable sense of dread.

Slow, deep breaths. Find something grounding - something with a nice texture, a pleasant and familiar smell, a photo of something or someone that brings you joy, a song that you love to listen to...

Remind yourself you are safe. Saying it out loud gives the words more power too.

Here with you 💜

Re: Need to vent

But what if it’s true @Jynx what if something is going to happen

I’m so scared

I did a painting on canvas before - but I still feel the same

I’ve just made an appointment online to see my GP first thing Monday morning.
could it be my meds? I don’t know.
it’s me I’m crazy @Jynx I want to run away

but I don’t know where

Oh this sucks

Re: Need to vent

No one can predict the future @BlueBay. What if nothing happens and you were worried for nothing?

If something bad is going to happen, then it will happen regardless of whether you were worried or not. If something bad does happen (which I sincerely hope not), then you can tackle it IF and WHEN it does, but not before.

I think there is a quote - "He who worries suffers twice"

I reckon it's a good idea to see your GP - which means you have already taken action to help yourself. Waiting sucks, but you can always keep yourself busy and connected in the meantime. If you feel the urge to run away, then that is pent up energy that maybe you could burn? Go for a run and satisfy the urge! Or even a walk. Or do something a bit strenuous, like dancing or vacuuming or something.

Glad you're hanging around us here on the forums so we can keep you company 😊
