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

wow! Nonna @BlueBay, how beautiful! Sounds like you're feeling worried for yourself, but that you might also be looking forward to seeing Little A off to school next year? I bet that will be so special ❤️

And I relate to that feeling of being thrown around by the waves. But you're planning ahead for the next few days of public holidays. And sometimes all we can do is get through the next little while and then see where we're at.

Big hugs and we're sitting here to listen ❤️

Great to hear from you Nonna! @BlueBay I remember when you posted about her birth!

Glad you could manage the day and that CATT team were not too invasive.

Congrats.

Home alone Not sure how I feel today My psychiatrist called me last night at 8pm. Checking on me and making sure I am taking my meds and to contact the CATT team if needed. She’s away next week but I have my dr back from leave and seeing him Monday morning. The sun is out. I will go for a walk this morning down at the beach. Then I will try to pack some more boxes. I just hope I can stay in an ok mood today.

was not too bad this morning

went for a beach walk

nw i am laying down in a heap of negative horrible thoughts

i just can't shake this feeling

i am so over everything

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

hey @BlueBay ❤️

How was the beach walk? That sounds like such a lovely thing to have done for yourself in the midst of a lot of change and yuck feelings.

I think I can understand the feeling of feeling stuck with lots of negative thoughts. It's so tough ❤️

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

hey @Former-Member

these thoughts i am stuck in are very negative

had to call CAT team again just before

they want me to call tomorrow to check in with them

i am so lonely i think that is my problem

but then i am scared snd anxious of meeting people or being out in a big group

i prefer to stay in my bedroom sleeping

but then i am sleepimg the day and night away

the beach walk was really nice this morning

just watching the small waves, the sun shining and people out saying good morning as i walked past

i might go down again with hubby if he wants to when he gets home from work

otherwise i will go back and lay down on my bed
