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.

Hopefully they get in touch with you soon @BlueBay

I am certain that they don't hate you hon. But it is hard not to feel that way at times when you are feeling the way that you do.

Sending lots of love your way 💜

Hey @BlueBay,

Do you have anything else planned today? I'm wondering if it might be helpful to distract yourself while you wait, if you enjoy music this thread over here is amazing...I find it has helped me when I'm on a shift that's a bit hectic and I need some space to collect myself. I stick on my headphones and explore all the music suggestions from the awesome forumites. Is there something like that you might be able to do this morning? Anything that takes your focus to another place and gets you out of your head can be helpful.

Re: Need to vent

I had to call my psych again because no one was calling me. It’s frustrating.
they will email my psych as she doesn’t work today and ask if I can see her. She is already booked up for next week.

I’ve got a book I’m trying to read but even that’s hard right now. Maybe music is better.

Hi @BlueBay ,

I'm FloatingFeather (one of the new peer support workers). Nice to meet you 🙂

I hope you get an appointment to see your psych next week. It can be frustrating trying to make appointments when they often seem so busy.

I think some music sounds like a great plan - I have found that it can definitely lift your spirits!

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather
