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.

@Shaz51

how are you?

i am sorry i haven't been here for you or others

i don't know what to think anymore about life

i am sorry you have enough on your plate with your mum and your health issues

i just wish life was easier - i should stop complaining

@Former-Member and others

maybe i am bothering others on here. i just don't have the energy to chat to others even though sometimes i hit the support button. i hope you all feel that is enough for now. it's all i can do right now. i have too much stress, too much worrying, thinking, sorting out.

finances really bad, the worst ever in my whole adult life.

house on the market - not sure where to move to

my mental health is i feel declining slightly again.

i am at a loss

No you haven’t upset me at all @BlueBay , I was just sharing that I know what it’s like having my own experience around trust & regaining that for myself.

Hi @BlueBay

You are holding some really heavy feelings with you today. It feels so cruel how, when we are overwhelmed, our minds can punish us and have us feeling worthless and without hope. We are sitting right beside you, there on the beach 🌻

If it feels like it might be helpful, please feel free to reach out to one of our counsellors for a chat, here ❤️
