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.

No @tyme

my phone is about to have no charge left

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

That's why we need a charger @BlueBay .

As much as it feels like there's 'no charge' left, you have people around you who can charge you up.

Allow them to because you deserve it 🙂

Hugs my friend, tyme

hi @tyme @Shaz51 @Former-Member

i went to bed last night and cocooned myself under my doona. i didn't sleep well kept waking up just thinking. i called my drs this morning at 8am when they opened and managed to get an appt with my regular GP. i checked my BP before and its 180/100 with heart rate of 110. It's too high. i feel my body is in 'flight/fight mode' constantly.

i was supposed to have lunch with a work colleague but i cancelled it yesterday. I just couldn't be bothered going out for lunch and chatting. all i want to do today is hibernate at home. i am going to rest as much as possible.

thank you for your support yesterday and the day before. my mum's birthday and the phone call has triggered a lot of stuff and i am still not right.

Re: Need to vent

i hate when people (not from here) tell me to - let go of my issues and my mum!!! 😞

how the f... are you meant to do that

and then they say 'oh you should do yoga' - as if that is going to 'fix' me or make me happy

i am going back to bed

i don't want to speak to anyone on the outside world (apart from here)

don't want to go anywhere

my head hurts

my heart is aching

my body is tired

i am so over being tired, exhausted from mental brain working things out that i can't work out

i am so over feeling rejected, abandoned

i am so over life

Hi @BlueBay,

Sitting with you, supporting you and sending you big hugs.

I'm sorry you are feeling so low at the moment. I really do wish you lots of positivity.
I understand how you feel when it comes to your mum - my mum and I have had a complex relationship my whole life. Whenever I see Mother's day cards where they say things like 'best mum in the world' etc. I can't relate that to my mum. I realised that my mum will never be the mum I would have wished for and I think that has helped me cope with things better.

Take care and warm wishes,

FloatingFeather
