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

Why can’t my mum ring me?
never

not even to ask about her grandson

to see if he arrived safely snd where he is

It just makes me really angry how a mother can forget about me

maybe she hates me

I shouldn’t have told her about my abuse

I wish I could sh to get to her

to show her and scream at her for what I’ve gone and still going through

Re: Need to vent

I'm sorry you're feeling this way @BlueBay I'm wondering if it would be helpful to reach out to a helpline or the webchat tonight? Is there anyone with you tonight to support you?

@BlueBay

Sorry to hear you are unwell. Please look after yourself my sister.

Are you able to have a conversation/discussion with your mum?

When do you see your GP again?

Re: Need to vent

Goodmorning @BlueBay

How are you today? It's so sad about your mum. As I've said before I went through a few times where my mum did not speak to me. I have four kids and she would not even ask how they were. It was awful and I would cry all the time. But I reached out time and again, to no avail. My husband said to me, you've done all you can and if she wants to be this way then that's on her. It was hard but I needed to accept that. Acceptance is really hard! But it did me good and I had my rants about it to the husband but then remembered I couldn't control everything especially other people. Eventually my mum got in touch and we are fine now. Not saying your mum will come around eventually, she may or may not. But I think if you remember you can't control this situation it will be helpful for you.

Anyway, I do hope you are feeling a bit better today. We are here for you.

Hugs,

Hanami

Re: Need to vent

thanks @hanami

i don't think my mum will ever come around. it has to be me to learn to accept the way she is - but this is the most difficult thing to do.

i still miss my dad and can't speak or see him because of her.

sorry a bit emotional today, didn't sleep well

all i have on my mind is my damn mum

i wish i could escape to somewhere

i miss my son

not doing great today.
