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

Update no 2:-

my dr called me earlier. He’s concerned I’m not feeling better. He got in touch with my cardiologist who suggested I have a blood test for a few things one being a clot.
Then he’ll ring me on Thursday and by then he’ll have the report from the 24hr monitor.
Then my cardiologist will see me asap when he’s back from leave.

im feeling very tired no energy
i feel my heart is racing.
I’m trying to take it easy

I just don’t feel 100%

im really worried

Sounds awful @BlueBay but I'm glad to hear your doctor is onto it. Please call 000 if it becomes an emergency.

I hope you can manage some rest and I hope you feel better soon.

Do you have anyone with you tonight?

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay I hear you my sister. You're amazing! No, you are not lazy, you need to look after yourself, and listen to your body. Any updates from the cardiologist? Your call, about what to do with your parents. Its very late here, I will send you another post sometime today. Thinking of you.

Re: Need to vent

thank you my sweet friend @oceangirl i am resting as much as i can, just taking it easy until i get the results and see what the next step is. xxxxooo

thanks my sis @Shaz51 for the hugs and love. xxxxooo

thanks everyone for your support yesterday. i still haven't decided what to do reg. calling mum for her birthday on thursday. still so undecided. i have been awake since 3.30am and just ruminating which doesn't help.

i prob won't make my final decision until thursday morning when i wake up. if i do call her i will show her that i am a better person than her, that i remembered her birthday and called.

if i don't call i miss cut all ties again which means not able to see my dad again. but i don't see him much now anyway.

if i tried to visit them on the weekend to give her a present (which i don't know if i will) i bet she will come up with an excuse as to why they won't be home. just so she doesn't have to see me.

gosh anger is a hard one to deal with; the injustice, the invalidation of a child. it still continues.

anyway i better go; the doctor opens at 8am and i need to get my blood test and put the monitor on. then my daughter will pick me up at 11am to take little A to a fun indoor park. i am a very lucky mum and nonna to spend so much time with my daughter. Little A gives me hope and so much love. when she comes out and says 'nonna i love you;' just out of the blue for no reason - oh it just leaves me feeling good. that someone loves me and tells me.

hope you all have a nice day @oceangirl @Shaz51 @Paperdaisy @hanami @Snowie @Eve7 @Bow @Emelia8 and others following xxxxooo
