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

Sorry to hear. I can't say anything. As of today I've gone into respite care as I am no longer able to take care of myself mentally or physically. I wish you all the best in moving forward from this.

Not doing well today

wishing my life away

triggering visions of my childhood sexual abuse at the forefront of my mind since that phone call with my mum

not good

its very hard to let go or even not get upset

I'm not sure about anything anymore

I thought I was going to have an ok start of 2021 but my mum ruined that

it's just hard

I can't get her out of my head

I need to live with it

i used to be sorry for my dad

but now I'm angry at him

he bloody needs to stand up to her

but it's too late


I know I need to let it go
Move on

think positive

wish it was that easy to do

all I ever wanted was a mum that loved me

and showed interest

her interest in me was to cause fights so we didn't talk anymore

again she won. She got what she wanted.
hope she's hsppy

I know you all have your own issues. Pls don't reply if you don't want to.

Its not a matter of not wanting to reply @BlueBay 💕. Of course I want to, I'm just feeling quite overwhelmed with my own stuff. Meaning I dont have a lot to offer. You know I'm listening and you know I sympathise and care. I'm sorry ... thats all I have.
