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 @grayhorn

I’m sorry you went through financial distress especially with teenagers. It must have been horrible.

thanks for your kind words of support. Really appreciate it xxxxx

@BPDSurvivor nonna pasta - ha ha. We’re having pasta tomorrow. My favourite.

i know my negative mind is horrible to me. It’s so believable. I’m going to watch some tv and have an early night.

i am a good person and mum and nonna aren’t I?
just my mum doesn’t think so. She hates me she never rings me.
ok I’m going to not let her get to me

xxxxx

That’s right @BlueBay !

All the evidence suggests that you ARE a good mother, you ARE a good wife, and you ARE a super amazing Nonna! I’d love to have a Nonna like you!

Little A is sooooo lucky!

So yes, I second what you have said “I’m going to not let her get to me” - that’s exactly right!

You go, Super Nonna!

Hugs,

BPDSurvivor

Re: Need to vent

Hi @tyme


today we had people come through our house and they want a building inspection Monday morning. So if they offer the right price our place could possibly be sold by next week!!!!

i had to email our solicitors who requested payment for sect 32 as it’s been 3 months. I emailed back requesting if we can pay it off. She said yes!!!

Today I’ve gone through sadness this morning to I don’t know what I want in life this afternoon to I just want to cry. So many mixed emotions.

im still coughing and asthma playing up. Can’t get in to my drs until next Thursday. I guess if I get worse I’ll go to ED. And I’m still waking up 2-3 times during the night. My dr will have my test results back when I see him.

my baby is turning 26 this Monday. We are having dinner and cake Sunday night with all the kids. This will be his last birthday with the family before he goes overseas. Gosh everytime I think of him leaving I start crying.

How are you @tyme ?

Re: Need to vent

Awwww @BlueBay ,

There's so much happening for you at the moment, I can see why you have so many mixed emotions.

A house has so much sentimental value attached to it, even though you are wanting to sell.

I often think about the house I grew up in and in a way, something is drawing me back to visit the property. Then again, I think whether I want to leave the memories as they are (from a child's perspective), or do I want to run the risk of walking into the house and thinking (this isn't how I remembered it!).

I was only thinking about it this week!

And then, you have your baby growing up - as much as you want to hold on to your babies, there's also the understanding that they need to be independent and go on in life. Such a mixed bag of feelings!

As for your asthma etc, I hope that gets seen to soon. I get very worried when my asthma flares up, so I make sure I take my preventer regularly. I had severe asthma as a child, and really do not want it to get worse again as an adult.

Hugs to you. And I'm around if you need a chat,

tyme

Hey @tyme


we have been in this house for 7 yrs. It was one yr old when we bought. Our old house we were there for about 17 yrs.
i will not go back to my childhood house ever. Too many bad memories (abuse)


I got asthma in my 40’s. I’ve been to hospital numerous times unable to breathe properly or talk. And a few times had to call an ambulance. Scary stuff.

yeah I know kids grow and leave home. It’s only natural. I’ll miss him so much. I know my older son is still with us only for a bit longer until his townhouse is built. Then it will just be me and hubby. It will be very different.
