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.

Hey @BlueBay

So sorry you're feeling so down. We can check in again on you later tonight. Do you have anything you can do to distract yourself? Some people really don't understand mental illness and it hurts when they are people closest to us.

hugs

Hanami

Hi @BlueBay,

I am sorry to read you are feeling this way. When I read your posts to other members you are really kind, encouraging and supportive. I hope you know that people are supporting you too. I wish I could offer you some valuable insight or wisdom but know I feel for you (as many others do I'm sure) and really empathise with how you are feeling.

Sending hugs,

FloatingFeather

Checking in @BlueBay sorry things are so hard right now.

Sometimes people say things they don't mean when they're stressed. Hope you're OK 💝

Re: Need to vent

I’m not ok @Paperdaisy

@FloatingFeather @hanami @Shaz51 and others following

I’m blaming myself for our bad financial situation

and that the bank has a limit for us to borrow once our original loan is paid off

because there’s only one income earner (hubby)


I’m feeling really terrible. I’m to blame. I feel guilty for not been able to be an income earner like hubby.

im such a loser

Re: Need to vent

Financial stress is really awful @BlueBay I can hear how distressed you are.
Are you able to stay safe tonight?

I'm sitting with you 💙

Re: Need to vent

Can’t do anything to myself as hubby is here and home for next two days

it’s my fault

there’s no doubt things would have been better and easier financially if I was working

Re: Need to vent

Sounds like you need a big hug right now @BlueBay . I’ve given most of my hugs out already but I left one especially for you *HUGS*

I remember a time (not too long ago) where you were working. Were you better off financially? Maybe. Were you better off mentally and physically? From what I remember, no.

So it seems like the stress comes from more than simply having a job or not.

I’m saying this because I’ve been in a place where ‘nothing ever goes right’. No matter what happens or happened, the world stayed a dark place. Now I’m sure this wasn’t because the world really was constantly dark - it was more that I hard a dark cloud over me. I saw the world through a negative lens….

Tables have turned for me now. I think I’ve swung to the other extreme where ‘nothing ever goes wrong’! Like seriously, I must be seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses. Even the worse seems the best for me.

Today I made choc lamingtons with my kids at school. We made pavolva last week. The kids are loving it!

I didn’t eat any so I hope they tasted okay! I’ve got another 4 classes making lamingtons tomorrow.

So 9 days left of school before the school holidays - yay!!!
