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.

I’m also dissociating a bit with triggering stuff

Sorry to hear the news @BlueBay

Hoping you can get some results and some meds to help with the infection.

It is hard when we are dissociating. I hope you have been able to find some things to do to keep you busy.

Re: Need to vent

Hey @Shaz51

i still have cramping pain and feel tired. every afternoon i need a nap. i am still taking the antibiotics. if not better i will go back on friday to see this female doctor as my reg doctor is away on leave. so much stress here at the momet with house selling and younger son organising his holiday/work overseas. he just filled out his working visa and it's all getting serious and close now. i will miss him so much but i need to let him go, he needs to live his life, spread his wings and see what is out there. he has been amazing to us with our financial strain, so hopefully we sell our home soon so that will be a big relief.

i am feeling a bit sad today, every now and then my dad comes into my mind and it makes me feel really sad.

how are you my sis? how is your mum coping with the dementia. i know it is so tough for all of you.

sending you love and hugs xxxooo

i am actually not feeling too good atm

feeling like my whole body is shaking

or side effects from other meds
