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.

LOL! My apologies @BlueBay ! I thought he meant just because you were sitting on the couch watching TV, it DOESN'T mean you are lazy!

My bad.

Sorry to laugh about it. It's not laughing at you. It's me 🙂

Are you upset with what your son said? Is that what's making tonight so tough?

Thank you @tyme 😥😥😥😥

My thoughts are bad

my mind is telling me terrible things to do

I don’t know how to forget what my head is saying

something is not right

to be honest - I read a book and now it’s giving me negative thoughts of what to do

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay,

Not for one second in the very short time I've been present in the forums have I thought you are lazy! Quite the opposite actually. 😊 What I see demonstrated from you is sheer determination. You reach out to those you trust for support, here in the forums, and you show up and advocate for yourself time and time again when you meet with your doctor. You're not lazy, in fact you're honouring what you need in those moments when you rest, this is caring for yourself–this is a positive thing. 😊 I hear you when you say it's frustrating when your family doesn't understand MH and how much that must hurt. You mentioned earlier that you spoke to your husband about your appointment today. Are you able to further confide in him for support?

Please know that you can always find solace in here.

Sending a big hug your way @BlueBay 💜

Sirius✨

Hi @Former-Member

I struggle to talk openly to hubby so tonight I told him a little.
he doesn’t talk or really understand mental health

for me it would be very very difficult

this is why I say everything on the forum. I tried online chat but can’t get through

I’ll go away now and go to bed


I’m hopeless and don’t deserve anything

😥😥😥

Good Evening @BlueBay ,

I'm sorry you could not get through to webchat tonight.

It is good that you are able to access the forums 24/7. I'm sure someone is online at any hour of the day/night, ready and waiting to respond to you.

Please remember the crisis lines if you feel the need to access them tonight.

Have a good rest,
