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.

Hi my friends @Shaz51 @Jynx @Appleblossom @Snowie @MDT @Owlunar @Emelia8 @oceangirl @outlander

@Anastasia

and others I’ve forgotten

well I’m home. Saw the cardiologist snd he looked at tests snd results and decided that it was one of my BP meds. He has assured me that it’s not my heart or related to covid. The chest pain stopped during the night but my BP dropped to a very low range which made me dizzy.
but after drinking lots my pressure went up snd I was allowed to go home.
he is making a follow up appt to have a 24 monitor put on.

it makes me angry and worried when the ER doctor tells me I could be having a heart attack or I had pericarditis from covid. None of this was true so the cardiologist says.

I relaxed at home. Seeing my psych tomorrow morning then my GP in afternoon.
I will find out tomo about admission to change my meds.

Re: Need to vent

I have had situations like that in the medical world @BlueBay - being led to think something is really serious, then oh it turns out it's all fine. And then I know I'm supposed to feel relief that it wasn't the worse option, but it's still very frustrating and well... you have to then soothe that fear response you were having earlier, and it doesn't always listen to the logic.

Hope it gets sorted and there aren't too many more complications to navigate 💜

Re: Need to vent

I can understand you being upset about being told you could have had a heart attack @BlueBay only to learn that it wasnt so. It clearly caused you a lot of unecessary anxiety. However I guess it would be remiss of ER not to check out all possibilities. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have to say though, that I am just very relieved to hear that you are okay. 😊💖🙏

Re: Need to vent

Glad to hear you are home @BlueBay and it was nothing too serious.

Hopefully tomorrow goes ok with your appointments.

Lots of love hon 💕💕
