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.

Re: Need to vent

my mood is declining

my motivation has gone

i am so tired

i just want to sleep

it's always a battle

not sure i know how to get through

i am so tired

i am over it all

i am not ending it all

just wanting to say

that some days/hours are hard

and the effort is real

i just want to close my eyes

and get rid of those horrible dreams

old visions, old houses, old people

just go away for real

i feel like i am drowning

like i will never get well again

for one day i feel just ok

and the next i am fighting

my demons are strong today

Im sad to hear it’s rough BlueBay. The thing is, experiencing times like this does not isolate you from the rest of us, it connects you, because we all have feelings like this. The good, the bad and the ugly. The beautiful people, everyone cos these are human emotions. The thing that helps is to recognise it’s time to be gentle and kind to yourself.

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay

Gosh it sounds like you are really struggling with your demons today. And it must be so frustrating to not really understand why. I've had many days like that, where you just wake up feeling so awful and that you'll never feel good again. It's a really tough place to be in, not knowing, and just wishing that you could feel ok again. My favourite little thing to tell myself on days like this is that every storm runs out of rain.

I really like the kind words that @grayhorn offered that these feelings don't isolate you but actually connect you to us all. I really hope you can find some solace in that.

Is there something nice you can do for yourself that will help you get through the day? We are always here for you ❤️

I'm sure you already have them but I will also include the numbers for crisis support as it sounds like you are really struggling:

Lifeline: 13 11 14

Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467

If in immediate danger: 000

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️❤️. Early night sounds like a good idea, being in a not so good place can be exhausting.
