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.

Thanks for your support @FloatingFeather

no little A isn’t coming this weekend. She goes to her dads tonight and back to her mum tomorrow night.

I’m resting on my bed. Daydreaming about life. The whys and what ifs.

Re: Need to vent

What a shame she isn't coming this weekend @BlueBay. I really do hope you can catch up with little A soon. I know how much she means to you and how much you enjoy each other's company.

Take care,

FloatingFeather

Hi @BlueBay

So sorry to hear you're feeling so down. I'm so hoping things pick up for you soon. Day after day of feeling low is so draining. I am holding hope for you that things will improve.

Sitting with you

Hanami💮

Re: Need to vent

Can you do something nice for yourself over the weekend @BlueBay ? I like to paint my nails… I’m getting rather good at it.

Hi @tyme

ive got an appt to see my psych on Monday afternoon. There was a cancellation so I took it.
i need to talk to her about the joint session with hubby. And what she told him.

Re: Need to vent

Good on you @BlueBay .

I think it is so important to 'get it out'. Not so much with disrespect or aggression, but more so this doesn't happen again.

I didn't speak about it yesterday because I wanted you to have some 'space' between what had happened.

I did have a few questions though.

Seeing your hubby has now heard and knows about what has been happening for you, has it been really that bad since?

After reading hubby's response yesterday, to me, it seemed quite pragmatic. What do you think? Did you want hubby to respond in a different way?

Please don't answer these questions if you don't feel you want to or are able to. I totally understand.

What happened to you reminds me of something I've been through. I NEVER spoke of my mental health to my family. I moved away from family so that I didn't have to share anything with them and they wouldn't see what was happening for me. In the end, a family member followed and moved close to where I was. MH discussion was taboo - i hid it. I plodded along hiding the fact that I was falling apart.

Then lo and behold, during a risky period, I realised my case manager and my family member was having contact. I was soooooo angry! I never consented! I lost it! I was furious. I was fuming.

Moving on... my MH was then clear and transparent and on the table (but only with that family member). I ended up being a sort of 'relief' because I no longer felt I had to 'hide' my condition.

This is why I've asked you those questions. It is not to make you feel bad in any way.

Hi @tyme I’m not sure what I expected of hubby.

he hasn’t mentioned anything at all.

i don’t know what pragmatic means?
