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.

The sadness I feel today

is just the tip of the mountain

it’s so hard to not feel hate

it’s so hard to not feel sad

Mother’s Day next week

snd I feel sad

I feel there is no more connection

no more interest in me or my life

there are so many mixed emotions

I don’t know how to feel

the thoughts pop in my head

I think I’ll be ok and then it all crumbles

if only things were different

grieving is something I am struggling with

loss of so much

it hurts so much

jealous of friends jealous of family members

who are all so close to each other

it makes me wonder where did we go wrong

I just don’t understand

im not sure I will see her on Mother’s Day

I really don’t care

but then I do care

after all she is MY mum

is she really the mum I wanted

why can’t I just accept and move on

today is really hard

next week will hurt more

Hi beautiful woman, sitting here hearing you, sharing your pain, feeling your love.
you are the mother you always wanted.

Re: Need to vent

Thanks everyone

you know @grayhorn you are so right. I remember from the age of 12 all I wanted to be was a mum. That was all. Then I got married at 20 and it took 5 years of trying, having tests, seeing specialist to fall pregnant. I was devastated. My younger sister had two kids in that time.
but then all of a sudden on a holiday to the place where we live now - I fell pregnant.

it was the best day of my life.

I am a better mum than my own mum would ever be to me.

I think I need to stop these expectations I have of how my mum should be. It just hurts.
