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

Can you make some noise? I know this might sound silly, but by playing some music out loud in your room and humming/singing along, it might make you feel like there is life and you aren't alone because you have all you need, right within you.

Do you have a favourite song?

Re: Need to vent

Can you play some music on your phone, and use earphones so as not to disturb anyone @BlueBay ?

No TV ... really? That is weird. Is there a patient lounge you can go to?

Re: Need to vent

Okay @BlueBay I hope that helps.

If you find yourself escalating, please ask a nurse for assistance.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Give it a go @BlueBay, hopefully it helps take you away from the memories, even if it's just for a bit.

And @Emelia8 gave some good advice, reach out to the nurses if you feel like you're at your coping limit. Your mental health is important too.

Hi @BlueBay

I didn't get notification of your message- but I did read your messages a few hrs ago. And just logged back in just to make sure you had not send another message. Keep your chin up sweetheart- just remember its not your shame to carry and its theirs. Unfortunately bad things happen to good people. Use the negative emotions into building a beautiful life for you and your hubby. Lean on him when you need support because he loves you very much. Hope you start to feel better and your blood pressure decreases. Having your physical ailments does impact your mental health too. One step at a time and lots of self care. Over the years I had learnt to be my own best friends and that has helped me. You will have tough days but I hope you have less of them and more days filled with joy, laughter and peace of mind. I will hopefully catch up with you soon sweetheart.
