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

Sometimes some time away is good. It’s hard at times, to disconnect, but I often feel good for it. I hope you can stay safe and reach out for support if you need to @BlueBay 💕

Hey @BlueBay 💜

I'm so sorry to hear how tough things are feeling. Sometimes our minds can tell us some pretty awful lies about ourselves. I wish there was something we could say here to take that feeling away from you but know that we all really care for you and are sitting with you here 💛

Thankyou @Peregrinefalcon @Bow

@hanami @oceangirl @Paperdaisy @Shaz51 @Snowie @Emelia8 and others

has anyone felt shaky in their head and body? Been feeling like this for a little while snd not sure if it’s my meds.

I’m just not coping with life

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Sorry to hear how you're feeling @BlueBay. It can be unsettling to experience new symptoms and not be sure of the cause. It sounds like it might be a good idea to talk to your GP about the shaky feeling. Changes to meds can have side effects so that's a possible explanation, but I think knowing what's going on is always preferable to letting our imaginations run wild.

Take care of yourself tonight @BlueBay

Angry at my psychiatrist

she told hubby yesterday in joint session about my suicidal thoughts and my eating disorder

so angry

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Hey @BlueBay ,

Have you had a chance to speak to your psychiatrist about disclosing information? Sounds like the psychiatrist assumed you would be open to sharing this with your hubby.

I'm sorry the upset this has caused.

I'm here for a chat if you need one.
