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.

Gee @BlueBay this admission seems really disappointing except for being able to have the MRI at no extra cost.

You should have been told all this prior to your admission. I totally understand your desire to leave on Friday.

I’m trying my best to stay out of hospital this year and am very fortunate to be seeing my pdoc weekly.

I hope you can at least feel ok about youe meds.

Lots of love 💙💛💙

Update - just now. The psych who admitted me came in to see how i am going with new medication. i told him i am fine but that i want to go home this friday. He laughed and said you just came in on monday. i explained that the reasons for my admission was for medication change and attend all groups while here. since there are no groups and i have changed my med i want to go. he totally agreed with me on the conditon that i call my own psych tomorrow and get an appt for next week and also see my GP next week as well. if my GP is happy to see me (which i pretty sure he will) he can monitor my meds.

Hi my sister @BlueBay

Glad you're having your MRI tomorrow

But in terms of staying on, you do what is best for you.

I have an appointment tomorrow with my surgeon.

Re: Need to vent

Tiday is my dads birthday. 85 today. Just hit me how old he is.

I posted a present on Monday so he should have it. When I called I wished him a nice birthday and asked if he hit my present. His answer was “I don’t know I have to ask mum”

WTF!!! How can you not know??

so my head is going to overdrive thinking that she hasn’t told him and will post it back to me.
I swear if she does I will call her snd have it out. She better not post it back.

why doesn’t he know. Why hasnt she told him snd given him my present.

what's the purpose in holding onto it??
