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

Hey @BlueBay ,

I hear you. I feel your pain. I see it hurts.

A big hug to you.

As much as it feels uncomfortable asking your son for money, remember the sacrifices you have made for your children to grow up to be who they are today.

You deserve every bit of it.

Sitting with you.

Hi @BlueBay

Happy belated birthday my sister

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Another thing... about your mother forgetting your birthday @BlueBay . My mother doesn't know my birthday either..... I got a birthday message from a relative once, and I was reading it out aloud. My mother said, "whose birthday is it?" To this say, she still doesn't remember my birthday. Good to also mention that my mother has NO memory issues at all.

I don't believe I even had a proper birth certificate until it was needed for me to apply for a passport to go overseas. Then they realised....

Where do I stand in all this? I was a little upset at first, but I think I've just let go now. I don't hold the expectation of her knowing my birthday, hence I don't get hurt.

Sad, but true.....

Hi everyone @tyme @oceangirl @MDT @Shaz51 @Paperdaisy @hanami @Emelia8 @Snowie

@tyme this time the tag worked!!

im sorry guys but I need to vent and release my anger.

im so bl…… angry at my mum

why did she forget my birthday

she’s done this on purpose

just to get to me and she’s won

even though I had a great birthday with my children I feel very hurt by her actions.

and I get my dad had no idea what she’s doing. Or if he does why is he letting her do it.

im undecided as what to do next week for her birthday. I really want to “get her back” and not call her. But doing that will cut me off completely from seeing them. But really she doesn’t let me see them now so there’s no difference.
I’m hurting. I hate her so much. I know she’s my mum but she’s not behaving like a proper mother.

She doesn’t care about me. She hates me for spilling it all about my childhood abuse. She hates me being close to my sister. How can a mum be angry about two daughters seeing each other.
i just cannot understand.

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay so sorry to hear that you are going through all of this.

Sometimes members of our family are so toxic.

Lots of love and hugs for today 💗💗

saw dr this morning. My bp is sky high (200/110) he made me stay and gave me extra med.
He sent me home to bed to rest up.
I’ve got a headache and shaky.

Trying to not stress but easier said than done.
He thinks it could be something electrical in my heart. I have to have a 24 hr monitor on Tuesday.

stress is making me sick 😢😢

I’ve had a good sleep and my headache has gone and my BP has reduced.
