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.

Oh I’m crying @Emelia8

I’m glad I have you here.
it’s so hard at the moment

I’m going to go and make a cup of tea and sit with you

I get so scared of the unknown @Emelia8

I can’t even talk to the family about my panic state

I just can’t

Re: Need to vent

I get scared of the unknown too @BlueBay so I can commiserate with you on that score. And yes I can understand you not wanting to talk to family members about your state of panic over whats going on right now. Goodness, I didnt even tell any of my family that I was in hospital for over 3 weeks last time I was in the MH ward. Not even sure why exactly. Combination I think ... not wanting to worry anyone, not wanting to admit to weakness.

Sorry I disappeared for a while. I finished my cuppa and then went and changed out of my gym gear into something warmer.

Really need to go now and get something healthy for dinner. Some of my blood test results from my GP today were somewhat concerning. What are you doing for dinner?

@Emelia8 @Former-Member

i am so exhausted, my brain is tired from thinking, stressing and worrying

i feel i need a break

a break away from life

but what does that even mean

but my mind and body can't take it anymore

i wish i could go away forever

Hi @BlueBay ,

Did you manage to get through to webchat?

Also, have you checked out our new guided service? It's so exciting for SANE and for participants who are eligible.

Hugs to you tonight @BlueBay .

Sitting with you and thinking of you,

@BlueBay

I agree with Rhye @BlueBay, so much of what’s happening is not in your control. Outside factors impacting your life. It’s not your fault. Please don’t take responsibility for situations and events you haven’t caused. I liked the sound of your dinner, that’s you showing love is a verb I hope you have a better night. One loving breath at a time. 🫖

I can’t do this anymore
