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.

Hi @tyme

I’m so not worthy of any help anymore

I’m past it

there’s no more helping me

it’s too late


seeing a new psychologist later

don’t even want to go

I don’t really know who I am anymore

or what I want in life

it’s so bad that I’m jealous of people

I feel I’m doomed for shit to happen

had to reduce our house price because no one has made an offer

it’s a huge stress and guilt for me

Morning @BlueBay,

I know these are words on a screen, but I truly mean it when I say you are very worthy of support and to feel peace and hope in your life 💙 I can't begin to imagine all you've experienced, but I can see all the strength you have because you demonstrate that here with us every day.

New psychologist you say? What I hear when I read that is "new" and that to me suggests new beginnings, new opportunities and new hope. Do you think you might be able to give this therapist a go today?

@BlueBay

I can tell how stressed you are, can you be gentle with yourself, just that same as you would be with little A when she’s having a hard time? One tender breath at a time 💜

Re: Need to vent

Thank you all for your support hugs and love. I’m so appreciative

I had my appt with new psychologist today. She was ok. Session was a bit triggering talking about my childhood abuse

all these questions

talked about my mum as well

Gosh she’s made my life hard

came home exhausted

I can’t think positive or even clearly

all I want is for all this stress to go away

I don’t know anything anymore

I feel defeated lost and overwhelmed with so much fear

heightened anxiety I can do without
