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

sorry I haven’t been around lately. I’m feeling really shaky inside. Full of anxiety with a fast heart rate.

I’m in a state of stress worry fear and anxiety. On high alert. Also my son is leaving in 16 days. 😥.

hi @Shaz51 @grayhorn @Snowie @Emelia8 @BPDSurvivor @Eve7 and others

Hugs @BlueBay ,

That's okay. I don't expect you to always be online, but I wanted to pop in and say hi.

It'll be a shift that your son is leaving, but remember all the technology we have. You'll still be able to connect with him. For parents, as much as we want our children to 'grow up', we also miss them dearly. You are a loving mother - of course you will miss him! It's only natural.

As for your heart rate, I hope it isn't you increased heart rate that is causing the unpleasant feelings. Keep a close eye, and please seek medical attention if it gets worse.

In the meantime, take longs, SLOW breaths. This may help to slow down your heart rate (to a certain extent).

Hugs, tyme

Today I took little A to the cinema to see Minions. We started with a coffee then movies then McDonald’s for lunch. Home now snd I’m tired!! Little A is relaxing too and doesn’t stop eating. She’s staying the night. Tomorrow we’ll meet my daughter st swimming where A has her lessons.

she was very excited today as she told me it was a girls day and no boys!!!

haven’t had a day just the two of us for a very long time. It’s a special day.
