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.

Re: Need to vent

Feeling horrible tonight

headache for a week

my BP is too low

normally it’s high

i feel sad angry anxious overwhelmed scared and emotional

I can’t think straight

I saw my psychiatrist today after her holiday. She told me to contact the CAT team when feeling like this. She said it’s their job to listen and talk and if needed they will contact her as she works there one day a week.

a house across the road from us went up for sale two weeks ago. It’s now under offer already!!


Ours has been for sale for 4 months and nothing yet. So upset. I feel I’m doomed.


I feel so lost in life. 😢😢

Our son called this afternoon. He’s good. Was about to go to breakfast and catch up with hubbys cousin in Florence. i miss him.

Re: Need to vent

@tyme I feel that I don’t deserve anything good in my life.

severe financial stress - my fault

my mental health -my fault

no job - my fault

guilty on all three 😢😢

I don’t know what I want

yeah right now I know - all I ever wanted was my mum to be a mum

to love me, hug me, support me

ok this is stupid writing

I can’t do this anymore

it’s just too hard

Re: Need to vent

I think many people go through the stage of thinking they do not deserve good things in life @BlueBay .

Life is a challenge. I don't think it was meant to be easy. Consider even the early cave people! They were constantly on the look out for predators. They needed to fight to survive.

Today, we also need to fight to survive. But our fight looks different. It has become a mental battle. The very mind that evolutionised to protect us has now turned out to be our own worst enemy sometimes - causing us to think things are our fault; causing us to feel guilty; causing us to lie there awake thinking each night; causing us to be overcome by anxiety;

Modern life requires us to harness and train these thoughts so they don't overcome and paralyse us - and sometimes, connecting like the way you have will help.

Hugs,

tyme
