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

I’m here @BlueBay , I just read about your visit to your parents, and I think it went better than expected. Sounds like your mum is just like that. No point trying to change her.

My mother is very cold too. I know she cares but that’s just the way she is. She doesn’t even remember my birthday lol. I just laugh at that.

As for me, I can’t sleep. I’m a bit down tonight/today. I need to try and shake this feeling so I don’t stay in it. I had a psych appointment yesterday, but got an email in the Morning to say my psychologist was sick.

I hope to enjoy school today. There are just people at school I don’t like (adults). Or shall I say, they don’t like me. I just have to remember I’m there for the kids. I’m making scones with two classes today and pavlova with one class. Yum!

Anyway, I’ll talk to you soon.

Sorry to hear you're feeling this way. It must be awful to continue to feel so down.

Re: Need to vent

It would be nice wouldn't it, if someone could take over our lives when we feel so down. Gosh it's hard. But we just have to sit with it, and hope it will pass, sooner rather than later. Thinking of you.

Hi @Peregrinefalcon

to many “what ifs “

I need to relax but my mind is racing

I just need things to quieten down

the stress of my life is taking it’s toll

I’m scared we will have no house to live in

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

You're dealing with a lot, @BlueBay, and it is completely understandable for it all to be feeling really scary and overwhelming right now.

Is there something you can do to quieten that anxiety down, even a little bit? For me, it can be helpful to go outside for a little bit and take a few long, deep breaths. Or even something really basic to focus on, such as a household chore.

Of course, the SANE Support Centre is always there for you too if you feel like talking it out with a counsellor.

Take good care of yourself and know that you are doing your best 💜
