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.

Thanks @Former-Member

I feel that it’s all too much and I hate being in pain because my anxiety goes high and I think if the worst.
my doctor said if pain gets a lot worse then go to ED.

I’ve been stressed for a long time and to be honest - I’m over it.
trying to sell our home is on top of my list

then financial stress

then everything else

some days I just want out forever because it feels too hard to keep going


i may hop on and chat online later.
thanks @Snowie xxxx

Hey @BlueBay ,

It sure sounds stressful!

Any offers for your property? Are you waiting to sell before you buy? I remember you mentioning something about moving a few minutes away from where you are now.

As soon as I think of housing, I get stressed too. So unpredictable and so much work!

I’ll be around for the next few hours if you need a chat.

@BlueBay

so sorry to hear you’re in pain again BlueBay. I can empathise cos I’ve been having nerve pain associated with my bowel. It hurts and makes life difficult. Having your house on the market is tough. These are things everyone would struggle with. When you can, keep practising things that have worked in the past, and love yourself anyway🌷

Re: Need to vent

no buyers @tyme and yes we have to wait until we sell before we can buy.

thanks @Shaz51 @grayhorn

Re: Need to vent

I hear you @BlueBay .

Focusing on tonight, I hope the pain subsides and you feel better soon. Does a heat pack help a little?


Otherwise, a warm hug,

tyme
