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.

@BlueBay Oh.. it sounds like you've reached an overwhelming space right now. We're here for you, but it's also a good time to reach out to a crisis service for some direct personal support.

Lifeline 13 11 14

Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467

Let us know how you go with it.

Take care,

Re: Need to vent

thank you @Emelia8 my friend xxxooo

i went to outpatient program but didn't feel well. new medication for my heart is making me feel horrible in the stomach.

i am still in shock about the latest info i found out yesterday. i just can't believe how someone can do something so horrible. and now this person will have to face the consequences; it's just horrible. i feel terribly sad for the parents and parts of the issue is it's triggering me to my past.

i don't know how to stop all of this; well i do but i am not sure i would do it.

i just want a more peaceful happy life - without all the stressors of life. which i am not sure anyone really has a good happy life all the time.

life is so tough for so many

Hi @BlueBay

I'm glad to hear you are reaching out to your supports as I really feel that's what you need right now. It seems like a difficult time for you and I can hear a lot of stress and anxiety. I would encourage you to keep reaching out to those supports as there is only so much we can offer here.

I would agree with you that no-one has a "good happy life all the time" as life is full of ups and downs, but I suppose it's about how I handle distress during those difficult times.

I'm sure you would have come across 'distress tolerance' on your journey but something that helps me is reminding myself of these practices. I hope it helps you too.

Sending hugs 💙
