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.

Update: -

ok so big news - our house is almost ready to go on the market!! we signed the contract yesterday afternoon, pictures will be taken in 3 days time; it goes live on the internet on tuesday or wednesday next week and first open will be sat week. to say i am stressed and overwhelmed is an understatement!!!

we have a few little things to do before the photos on friday:

1. clear out the kitchen bench so it looks bigger and tidy

2. cleaned the butlers pantry out today

3. hubby needs to quickly oil the deck

4. garden is fine it is all flowering and the japanese maple tree is still not losing leaves

5. i need to clean bathroom tiles grout (but i will get hubby to do that as it will hurt my back)

6 buy some new bath mats and towels only for the inspection days (so they look good)

my back is still sore, i did some yoga stretches yesterday. i have done 2 loads of washing and I have cleared out a section of the kitchen bench and put it into the butlers pantry.

i better go and get some lunch, i am really not interrested in eating. oh i ended up calling the CAT team earlier as i was so overwhelmed. i cried myself to sleep last night and not sleeping well at all since home.

they are going to call my psych tomorrow befoe my appt tomorrow afternoon.

hope everyone is doing okay, i am sorry i haven't been on your own posts to reply. it is just too much.

Re: Need to vent

Hi everyone

ended up at ER last night with a massive migraine, all my left side. it took 5 hours to wait and they kept me in overnight. lucky my younger son picked me up this morning before he started work.

OK, now i need to vent about my mum - i am sorry but i am really really angry. i know i said i wouldn't call her and i haven't called as often as i used to. in fact the last call to her was two weeks ago. but this morning i wanted to see if hubby and I could visit them so i could see my dad. this is how the conversation went.

'hi mum, just wanting to come down on saturday to see you and dad'

'oh no, not for at least a few more weeks as you have been in hospital'

ok, you let me know when you are ready, then.

ok, better go and buy milk and bread at the shops (which are apprently covid free!!!)

WTF!!!! is she thinking - that now it's MY fault for me not been able to go and visit my dad.

how dare she use me as the excuse

i had to be negative to be admitted otherwise i would have been sent home

so actually all patients and staff in hospitals are all negative (you would hope!!!)

the angry part about me is - not saying to her that i had to be tested before admission

and that her going to the supermarket is more risk than me been in hospital

she also uses dad as an excuse saying today 'oh yeah he doesn't feel too good and doesn't want to see anyone' WTF - another lie. my dad is a very proud man, he would want to see he kids and grandkids.

i can't stop crying, i want to throw things, smash things. and cry.

luckily i am seeing my GP at 11am and then my psychiatrist at 1pm.

i give up with my mum. I am now stopping all calls to her and see what she does. It's a control thign with her, she wants the control. Well she is not going to get it anymore with me.

because when 'she is ready for us to go over' - i am not going. i will be busy that day. two can play her game.

and in fact my dad can still walk around and grab the phone and call me. he is not disabled. why doesn't he just do that. pick up the phone and call his daughter.

rant over, i could go on and on

and then i wonder why i get migraines

i am done with her, i wanted to to ring back and tell her about my test beforer admission but i know her - she won't believe me. so i am not wasting my breath on her anymore.

@Snowie @Former-Member @NatureLover @Shaz51 @Eve7 @Emelia8 @Owlunar @MDT and so many others i have forgotten, sorry!!!

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay I'm sorry this interaction with your Mum has brought up these feelings. Sounds like Mum has been very dismissive and not given you a chance to explain yourself. I'm glad to hear you'll be seeing your GP and Psychiatrist today and hopefully they can offer some support. Hopefully hubby is around to support you also? Is there something nice you can do for yourself today?

Here with you 💝

Re: Need to vent

hi @Snowie i can't remmeber which appts they were?? doctors and psychiatrist maybe

they went okay, as good as they can go. emotional at my psyc session.

i want to stop taking a mood stabiiser as it is increasing my appetite so much, i am looking for food everywhere. and it is not helping me at all. i am feeling anxious and overhwelmed.

i emailed my psych's rooms to see if i can see her asap reg. stopping my meds.

the house is for sale, first open is on sat.

i feel i am repeating the same story over and over!!!

my memory is not good at all, has anyone noticed their memory not good

my psych told me it is from stress and depression

does anyone know if @Owlunar is okay and still around. i just haven't seen her around and i am worried

i hope everyone is doing okay. i am sorry i haven't been around, i am feeling very overwhelmed and stressed with selling our home and the shite my mum gives me.

hugs xxxxxxoooo
