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.

Re: Need to vent

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad @BlueBay

I hear you - you feel as if something terrible is going to happen - maybe it will - most likely it won't happen to you or yours

Life happens

So what can you do about it? I suggest you go on with your day - do your ordinary things like shower, have brekky, tidy up and go for a walk -

Nothing you can do or say will change the future outside the realm of your choices so choose - as I have told you before - do your stuff or go and hide in your bed - that's fine as a choice

I hope you feel better soon

Dec

hi friends @Anastasia @Owlunar @Shaz51 @Jynx @oceangirl @Emelia8 @BPDSurvivor @MDT @Former-Member

and others following

I saw my GP yesterday morning. Chest pain overnight with headache and abdomen pain.
my BP was very high. My abdomen pain is most likely a blockage in colon. My chest pain only lasted 1/2 hour and he reassured me it isn’t cardiac. So wait snd see.

I then saw my psych yesterday. And as soon as I say down we talked about my letter yo my mum. I broke down snd then lost it. Crying about other things as well. I was so overwhelmed thst I don’t remember what she was saying.
she mentioned adding a new Med after having a test done to check levels of sodium potassium glucose thyroid etc. she is going to call me tomorrow morning to give me results and write a script.
I’m feeling so overwhelmed at the moment.

today my daughter called to see if I wanted yo meet her snd little A at the park. It was fun playing and then having a coffee afterwards.

I then got home to have a phone session with my psychologist. Again talking about my mum. He understands the terrible abuse that happened to me as a child. He listened as I talked and cried.
another difficult session. So two days of draining emotional sessions.

Often family are toxic @BlueBay If you can keep away from your mum, you’ll be better off. I have distanced myself from all family. And it’s the best thing I did.

Re: Need to vent

It was the hardest thing I did, but the best @BlueBay if you can distance yourself from your family. That’s the best thing.

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay A really intensive couple of days for sure! I hope you aren't in too much pain now 🤞

Sounds like you have gotten a lot off your chest with your psych too, and maybe this can be the next step on your healing path. It's never easy!

Get lots of rest, you've certainly earned it 💜🤗
