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 @BlueBay, I'm really sorry to read you are feeling like this. Sending you a big virtual hug. Please don't feel alone - you have so many lovely and supportive friends on the forums that really care about you.

I know there's probably nothing I can say to make you feel better but please know I feel for you and I really hope these difficult feelings lift for you soon.

Hope everything goes well with the party tomorrow - what a great mum you are making your son an apricot cake. I can't bake to save myself.

Wishing all the best,

FloatingFeather

Thankyou @FloatingFeather

for the hugs snd support.

how do I get through the next week?
So many mixed emotions.
ftom anger because my mum said her snd dad not coming. Gave me a really pathetic excuse. Sadness to say goodbye to my son 😢

each time I think of my son leaving I’m getting upset.

i don’t know what I’d do without this forum.

That's not good you're feeling so down @BlueBay . I'm sorry to hear that. Are you able to see your support people early next week?

It sounds like you made a delicious cake though!

hugs

Hanami ❤️

Re: Need to vent

Just one day at a time @BlueBay. I can imagine you must be filled with many different emotions - all of which make complete sense to me.

If you can tomorrow just really enjoy the time of being with you son and being with those that come to his party.

I have a son in his 20s so I can imagine how hard it must be for you but I'm glad we live in a day and age where we can at least Facetime, text, etc but I do understand that it's not the same as having your son near.

One good thing, as you know, is that the forums are always here so please be comforted knowing there is always someone to talk to.

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

Re: Need to vent

I emailed my psych @hanami I’m hoping she gets back to me.
otherwise I see her on Wednesday.

yeah we will be face timing quite a bit @FloatingFeather

when he went a few years ago before covid he went for 6 weeks. That was hard but at least I knew when he was coming back. There was a date to look forward to.

but this is a one way ticket. So who knows how long he’ll stay.

Re: Need to vent

Having a child go away with a one way ticket is a lot to deal with!

My oldest son went to Japan to study a few years back and I was so afraid he wouldn't come back. He got a Japanese girlfriend and I thought even more that he'd stay for good! But he came home and now lives about 20 minutes away. My oldest daughter moved away for work when she was 20 and I was so broken hearted. I got on with it and now all good. I kinda like that going to see her is a good excuse for a holiday now.

Anyway, I understand it must be so hard for you. I hope the party goes well tomorrow.

Hugs

Hanami
