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.

Hi @BlueBay

Glad you have something to look forward to with A coming over. I am sure you will spoil her!!

An early night sounds like a good idea to me. I hope the Drs goes ok tomorrow.

Re: Need to vent

Yeah @Shaz51 went this morning. I just had a twinge of pain in my chest.

The results of monitor is going to my cardiologist as he also works at my doctors rooms. so that is good.

@BlueBay

My sister you will be ok.

Your hubby loves you so much and so do your beautiful kids and little A.

Think about what is best for you & hubby

Are you able to stay where you are ?

Because property prices are going to continue to raise and your property where you are will most likely to increase more then where you move to.

I hope this doesn't upset you what I have written here.

hi friends @NatureLover @oceangirl @Snowie @Shaz51 @outlander @Owlunar @Emelia8 @BPDSurvivor @MDT @Anastasia and others reading

I woke up at 6.30am to go to the bathroom and I instantly felt dizzy sweaty and nauseous. I was white as a ghost. i had to go back to bed. When i got to the doctors I told my GP and he said this will be good as it will show up on the heart monitor. he checked my heart and said i have a murmur. he said he will call me next week while i am in hospital and give me the results of heart monitor.

but it is good that i will be in hospital because my cardiologist visits the hospital i am going to.

i am feeling okay atm, so hopefully no more funny dizzy spells.

my psych called me this morning to wish me well for my stay in hospital. she has recommended two types of meds to the admitting psych so will see which one i go on. it's all trial and error.

she is away for two weeks in March and said she has booked me in for an appt already.

only the weekend to go then in hospital.
