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

hugs back at you my beautiful friend @Shaz51

today i went out for lunch with my daughter. we haven't been on our own for a very very long time, so it was nice. Little A is at kinder.

Home now and I have just baked some biscuits, about to have a shower and wash my hair.

I called my parents to see how my dad is - according to my mum he is not very well, but won't give me any information. she is keeping it from me and there is nothing i can do. i suggested that he go to hospital and get his chest looked at but she said 'oh we'll wait until tomorrow'. why wait, go now if he is 'that bad'.

there is something not right about this - i don't trust her at all. and because i am not close to her i can't see what's going on or even see my dad.

all i want to do is see him, just to make sure he is okay.

there is so much anger building up again, i want to lash out. hoping to get through the rest of the day without thinking too much negative thoughts. seeing my GP first thing in the morning.

you know this might sound morbid and horrible - but - i keep visualising my dad's funeral. i keep seeing him and how the day would go. it's a horrible thought. i don't know what to do.

Re: Need to vent

Sorry to hear about your Dad @BlueBay and I hope you can find something to distract yourself from those thoughts you describe. Are you able to speak to your Dad on the phone or do you just get Mum when you call? I'm hearing there's a lot of anger there. Please take care 💝

Hi @BlueBay

Glad you got out with your daughter today for lunch. It sounds like you had a nice time.

I'm sorry to hear you are not getting anywhere with your mum. She seems very hard to deal with.

Sitting with you sweetie 💌💌

Re: Need to vent

hi @Paperdaisy no i never get my dad answer the phone. it is ALWAYS my mum. He is not well and i am really worried about his health. I guess i am fearing the worst. my mind is going to all sort of horrible thoughts.

she has told me to not go over this weekend for mothers day as he is coughing, she said have to wait a few weeks now. Then it will be another excuse and it will then be months and months where i haven't seen him.

he doesn't have a mobile or a computer. so there is no way of speaking to him.

thanks @Snowie @Eve7 xxxxx

That's so tough @BlueBay I'm sorry to hear about those controlling behaviours. Makes it so hard for you being kept in the dark. There are many people here who care about you, I can see the support you get from your forums friends. Please reach out to the helpline tonight if you need to talk 💝

Re: Need to vent

That must be really hard for you @BlueBay

Is there ever a time where your mum goes out and your dad is by himself at home?

I know that may not happen too. I hope you get to see him soon 💜

Re: Need to vent

Hey @Snowie yeah she does go to the shops but I never know what time of day she goes. Dad doesn’t go but a lot of the time if she doesn’t answer the phone it goes straight away to answering machine.

It’s very difficult especially atm with him been not well. I worry.

she is very cold towards me.

It would be better if he answered the phone. I know you worry about your Dad so much hon 💕
