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.

Hey @BlueBay

That sounds like a lot for any individual to go through. Dealing with physical aspects of doubt can be so unsettling and difficult in my experience. The community is here with you now to listen.

I'm wondering if it would be worth reaching out to your GP regarding the medication? I ask this as, just to let you know, members on the SANE forums aren't able to provide medical advice - and it sounds important to you that you get the right help at the right time.

Sending my thoughts to you.

Hi @oceangirl @Snowie @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Eve7 @Emelia8 @MDT @Anastasia @grayhorn abd others following

my doctor is calling me this afternoon. He’s receptionist called me earlier to say he will call me later. Guess I should tell him about my meds and stopping them. I think I see this as a call for help when I’m overwhelmed and stressed and emotional.

but guess what??? - I am going to see my dad tomorrow!!!! ♥️♥️

can you believe it I will see him in the flesh

I can hug him and talk to him

OMG I can’t believe it. From last week thinking and fearing he would die to now been able to see him.

had a phone call from services Aust reg my medical certificates. They will connect me with an organisation that helps people with disability including mental health. She will extend the medical certificate so I no longer need to get anymore.

I'm now waiting to meet new psychologist. I’m hoping she’ll be nice. Always nervous before a new session.
