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.

Sorry @BlueBay ,

I think I've been out of the loop. I've just realised you've sold your place! Congratulations!

In terms of purchasing a place, I remember you visiting a place about 20 mins from where you are now. Is that still an option?

Re: Need to vent

We’re looking everywhere. We are limited to how much we can spend so we are looking a bit further out.

Im so stressed. What if we don’t find something in time. We’ll be homeless.
The uncertainty of not knowing is really difficult.

Re: Need to vent

I hear you @BlueBay .

Life is full of uncertainty. That is the hardest part. Yet that is the part we are all faced with. Hence, from experience, I have learnt is it not about NOT having uncertainty, but rather, knowing how to manage the uncertainty.

I'm in the middle of two properties too. I don't know what I am doing either.

Sitting in the same boat as you,

Re: Need to vent

Well let’s take our boat and sail away!!! Lol

i wish you all the best in finding another property.
i get what you mean. It’s my “panic” state of mind that I feel so stressed.

@tyme how do you stay positive and not stress or panic.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I am not stressed at all @BlueBay . I don't know where to move my stuff. I don't know how to move my stuff. I don't know if I even want to move my stuff or just throw it out.... yet I'm just cruising through. If anything, I feel like I need to be clearing out now... but myeh?

How do I stay 'positive'? Well, a kid once said to me "Expect to be disappointed, and you'll never be disappointed" LOL. Such is life. Radical Acceptance - to accept that which I cannot change. That's pretty much it.

I also find that the more I reach out to help others, the more relaxed I am 🙂 Perhaps I have realised that having meaning in life is not just about being 'happy', but rather, moving with whatever happens, knowing that that is my lot in life 🙂

Hugs, tyme

thanks @creative_writer @tyme @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Snowie

another horrible night - awake at 1.30am, 4.30am and up at 6am. just could not sleep.

i am noticing that i am disocciating, going blank, starring at space for no reason. i have a feeling that my new med for the heart is causing these sleep issues. seeing my GP early monday morning so i will let him know.

i can't think - i need to look at property but it's becoming a bit obsessive. i think this is my problem that when i need to do something or look for something i obsess so much that i then go into overwhelm drive, panic and then hibernate from the world.

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBaysounds like you had an awful night. Things always seem worse whenever sleep isn’t good. I hope your appointment went well with your GP ❤️

Hi @BlueBay , how are you feeling now?

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Hi nonna @BlueBay ,

I’ve missed you. How are you today? I also had a terrible night last night. I’ve cancelled all my appointments for today so I can let my body rest.

Thinking of you and I’ll wait to hear how you are.
