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’ve just started to crochet while watching tv @Peregrinefalcon

I can tell hubby is stressed about finding a house. He’s very quiet.

I don’t even feel like eating

Hi @BlueBay

Crocheting while watching TV sounds like a nice way to spend the evening!

I'm sure that looking for a property is really challenging and stressful so please take care during this time. Please remember to reach out for support with the SANE Support Centre if you need to talk through some of what you and your family are experiencing.

Food can be a good healer for stress too and making an effort to look after yourself and eat regularly is important.

Take care

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay It must be really scary to feel like things will always be like this, and I bet its so hard to sit with. I'm sitting right there with you in your pain ❤️

Is there anything in your safe plan you can do this morning?

My partner and I are having some money troubles too. And while I can't take your feeling away and what's happening might be a little different, I'm feeling a bit scared about it too. I know that you're not alone in these worries ❤️

Re: Need to vent

thanks @Former-Member

i do worry and stress and feel sick in the stomach with not having money and where to move to.

what if we don't find a house; then where will we go??

i have just made a coffee and might try to do some crochet. i just want to cry

i want to reach out for help

but then i feel useless, hopeless and no one wants to help me

i am a useless person who just wants others to help

because right now i feel overwhelmed

i need to go

go outside and get some fresh air

eating hasn't been good lately

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay, being worried about it is so understandable, they're really big worries to have. I know you're working really hard on making sure this doesn't happen.s

It sounds like a great idea to make a coffee, do some crochet and getting fresh air. If eating hasn't been good lately, I wonder if having a snack could help also?

I'd love to hear about where you might get some fresh air, if you'd like to share? I'd love to visualise what's around you a little bit. No pressure though ❤️

You also mentioned wanting to reach out for help. I know there are lots of people around who want to help you. Is there anyone you want to reach out to today?

Sitting with you today

Re: Need to vent

my support team aren't available today. i am seeing my psychologist tomorrow morning so thats a good thing i suppose.

ok, so i am outside on my deck, there are lots of palms surrounding the back fence, birds singing in the trees.

i am so overwhelmed that i have just broken down in tears. i think i will go back to bed my safe place, curl up in a ball and cry.

i am home alone, my hubby is at work and older son has gone away for a few days to his mates house.

i miss my younger son who is overseas for poss 2 years. it's only been a month

i have to stop

need to go

i can't stop crying

i need to go

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Thanks for talking me through where you were @BlueBay. It sounds beautiful ❤️

Going to your safe place like a good idea ❤️

I'm really glad you're seeing your psychologist tomorrow, and I wonder if theres a way you can reach out to your younger son to feel a bit connected?
