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

I hear you @BlueBay . It can be so hard to ask for help. When I was younger I would never ask for help. I always felt I could get through alone and was scared of what people would think of me - would they find me too needy? would they know what to say? would they just leave me to be alone? As I've gotten older I've realised this is not what happens when you ask for help. Someone is always there for you and glad that you asked instead of suffering in silence and alone. Keep reaching out here, we are all here for you.

Re: Need to vent

asking for help is a sign of weakness @hanami a sign that I am stupid and can't deal with my own stuff by myself

but the truth is - i can't anymore, i need help and can't do this alone anymore

i am going to talk to my psych on Monday - just have to get through the weekend

i have seen a psychologist for 11 yrs - you would think by now i would be better, ok or at least not so depressed like i am now

i feel angry right now

i am crying because i don't know what to do anymore

i wish i could run away

Re: Need to vent

Not particularly @hanami but keeping myself busy

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

@Bow Glad you're keeping busy. Sometimes it's the best way to take our mind of our mental health stuff. When I've got a particularly clean house is when you know I've had some bad stuff going on in my head! It's the only thing that seems to take my mind of it.
