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.

hi @Snowie @Eve7 @oceangirl @Shaz51 @tyme @Emelia8 @MDT

I had an appt this afternoon with my cardiologist. I did an early morning walk down the beach which was nice. I then went back to bed and fell asleep only waking up 10 mins before my appt. thank god my cardiologist is at the same rooms as my dr which is 3 min drive from home.

my BP was high and i told him what was going on atm. he said that one of my meds that he prescribed could be causing the fatigue as it's a side effect. so i am stopping that.

seeing him again in 6 months time unless i need to see him earlier. he is a fantastic cardiologist and knows my mental health issues. a few times he has visited me when i was in the mental health hospital.

i am worried stressed anxious about my psych appt on monday.

Re: Need to vent

Glad you don't have to see your cardiologist for another 6 months @BlueBay

That must come as some relief to you.

I think it is normal to be anxious about your psych appointments. I feel the same way at times. Especially if I know that I have to talk about hard subjects.

Hey @Snowie

i know we will be talking about a possible hospital stay to change my meds

and the email i sent and her reply to it

i get so worried that she is angry with me and i really hate getting people upset or angry at me

how was your day?

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I am sure that your psych isn't angry with you @BlueBay Probably more worried and concerned.

Maybe a hospital visit might be the right way to go especially if you need to change meds. I have gone for hospital before for a med change. It does help to be in a controlled environment.

My day was ok. I have a few things going on which seem to be out of my control at the moment. I am trying not to worry about them, but of course easier said then done!

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

yeah she might be worried @Snowie

usually i do go to hospital to change my meds; it's just this time my psych decided to try outside of hospital - but i think i need hospital stay.

i am so over everything, need a break.

it's hard when things are out of our control isn't it? and yeah easier said than done. i know what you mean.

hope you can relax tonight xxoo

Re: Need to vent

It is hard when we cannot control things @BlueBay I am trying to stay calm and not let it get to me. Not sure if I am doing a good job of it however! Just having a cup of herbal tea before I turn in for the night.

Sometimes going into hospital is a good break for us hon. We can just concentrate on ourselves and have some support around us. Changing meds can be hard especially when we just can't change over straight away and we have to wean ourselves of them before we can start the new meds.

Anytime my beautiful sister @BlueBay

Glad to hear you're in good hands. I am good, and feeling better within myself. Do you do any weights/strength training? I take COQ10 , it has helped with my energy levels. But ask your Dr about any medication.

I had specialist appointment today (neurologist). I had nerve conduction study. I got results it was good news. My condition is only mild. He is going to write to my GP. I can take medication for one or two weeks ( reduce inflammation). And also to wear a split at night.

Glad you got your walk in today. I hope to do a beach walk tomorrow.
