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

Ended up in Ed last night at 6pm with a horrible pounding migraine and very high blood pressure. Tests, ecg we’re done but I don’t know anything yet.
woke up earlier with another headache.

not sure how long I’ll be here.

im feeling sad, down and sick. So stressed that I really need to change.

Hi @BlueBay

ED is a safe space to be no matter what takes you there. I hope you are getting the treatment you need to feel better.

Acknowledging that you want to change is a great step towards making that happen. Love to hear more about it when you are feeling up to it.

Thank you for letting the Forums know!

Take care

Hi @BlueBay,

I hope you got a few hours of good sleep last night.

It can feel as though times like this is never ending but you have shown so much strength during this rough patch. Take a few deep breathes and hold on.

There are a lot of people on the forum to support you.

Sending more strength,

Thanks @RiverSeal

@home niw.

things are worse.

cancelled our contract yesterday. Apparently the vendor can keep the dep or .2% if sale.

so he wants it all.

we are now in debt - have to pay $400 extra to vendors solicitor.
have to pay $600 to building inspector.

i can’t think

I’m angry at agent because he never told us

I’m panicking

nurse told me I can go back as she saw me crying

but I left

Re: Need to vent

Oh no @BlueBay ... why did you cancel your contract? I thought you loved the property, and it ticked all your boxes. Not sure what to say. Obviously it was yours and your husbands decision, but it seems a little rash. Especially given that you are now in debt. Yes I think that is fairly standard procedure that the vendor can keep the deposit if the buyer backs out for the simple reason that they have changed their mind. I am so sorry this did not work out for you. I feel really upset for you. Nothing I can say will make it any better. But I do understand, and can definitely sympathise with you. Buying and selling a home is such a stressful and important decision. One you must get right. So if backing out of this contract was the right decision for you, then you need to move on. Find another home that IS right for you. Hugs my friend.

Re: Need to vent

It was a rash decision on my hubby’s side not me @Emelia8

I know we lose our dep but I guess we both have to be happy with a house and the area as well. it’s so hard.

i think I’m going to take a break from here. I’m too overwhelmed with life at the moment
physically not well and it’s not helping my mental health.

i just need time out for a while.

i care a lot about others in here so much but I need to look after myself.

Re: Need to vent

Sitting with you @BlueBay buying a home and selling a home can provide us with a lot of stress plus with your health issues I can see how that can be exacerbating your whole situation.

Sending lots of love to you
