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.

Hi @BlueBay,

I am so happy for you that you sold your house! I know it was weighing on your mind - it must be a relief for you. I do understand though the feelings of mixed emotions - I think that is a typical way to feel when you sell your home.

The theory your psych brought up with you in session is interesting. In my case I know on occasion that when I feel like something is too good to be true I have (upon reflection) maybe sabotaged it for myself because I would rather be in control of letting myself down then allowing someone else to have the power of letting me down. I don't know if this makes sense? Just something I was thinking about when you talked about self sabotage.

Hope the week is kind to you @BlueBay.

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

Re: Need to vent

Special day for me (birthday) and NO call from my parents.
sometimes I wish I wasn’t born

obviously she doesn’t care

may as well be not here

making lasagna to take to my daughters for dinner

she’s made a cake

How can a mum forget their own child’s birthday

How?

Hi @BlueBay

Firstly 'Happy Birthday' 🎂😊🎂😊

I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't had a call from your parents. It is certainly not fair and would cause you so much hurt.

I wish I had answers for you hon.

I hope however that you have a good night with your daughter. I hope you are able to enjoy that time together.

Sitting with you 💕💕

Re: Need to vent

Thank you my friend @Snowie xxxx

It’s so hard when I know I’ve done nothing wrong and yet I feel why ???

i will have a good time tonight for dinner especially with little A.

my son has just come home with a coffee and items to make lasagna.

oh snowie it hurts. I’m definite that she knows today is my birthday.
next week it’s hers - do I ring and be the better person or do I ignore her like she did to me and see how she feels???

Re: Need to vent

I am glad you can spend some time with A tonight hon @BlueBay

I really hope it is an enjoyable night for you.

It is a hard decision whether to ring your mum on her Birthday. I guess you just have to do what you feel is right for you.

Please remember that your mum is not a reflection of you. You are an amazing person who deals with so much in your life and have the strength and courage to get through it.

Re: Need to vent

Hi @BlueBay

How are you?

Your psych should have discussed with you what she was going to talk about in your session with your husband.

Thinking of you my sister

I started working, been busy

And also been sick for a few weeks

I had mri on lower back and left hip

How are you?

I'm working 9 hours tomorrow

Re: Need to vent

Thanks everyone for my birthday wishes.
I did have a nice day and a nice dinner with two of our kids and of course little A.
our son and his girlfriend sent messages last night for my birthday.

last night I went to bed and cried. My mum. Why didn’t she ring me. How can she forget.
i ended up having a violent dream of people with weapons. Horrible.

anyway this morning I’m catching up with some girls I used to work with.
