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

Hi @BlueBay, that sounds like a really tough space to be sitting in right now 💙

We haven't met, my name is Sirius and I'm one of the new peer support workers in the Forums. Your post this morning felt familiar to some of my own struggles in the past, and I just wanted you to know that you're not alone.

I'm wondering whether you have any professional supports you can reach out to today @BlueBay? Sometimes it really does help to share how we're feeling, whether that be to a therapist or someone you trust.

There is of course always the SANE counselling service who are available today from 10am-10pm on 1800 187 263.

Please keep reaching out here @BlueBay and if there is anything we can do to support you, please let us know.

Sirius✨

Re: Need to vent

Hey @BlueBay, from what you've described that sounds frustrating, and possibly disconcerting if things are moving further beyond your control? ❤️ Sending a big hug your way.

Just checking if you're connecting with a MH professional or GP at the moment? As at least for me it's at times when things are getting more overwhelming where I need extra support

If it's helpful to have some back-up options, support services like SANE, Blue Knot, and ARCVic are available too ❤️
