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

Im sorry @BlueBay but no, I cannot explain your mother or what she means by her accusations of betrayal by you. I dont think anyone can. But I do know that what happened to you, a child at the time, was NEVER your fault. And no, your decision to reveal what happened to you, was NOT a betrayal of your family. If anything, your mother has betrayed you, by not supporting her daughter. Please try to stop blaming yourself @BlueBay . Its very common, but so destructive.

Hugs beautiful 🌷

Re: Need to vent

hey @BlueBay, a similar thing has happened to me and others I know. I just want to say that @Emelia8 is right, we can NEVER know what your mother means by this. And what happened to you should not have happened. You had (and still have) every right reveal what happened. But you are so brave for standing up for yourself. I'm sorry that it still impacts your relationship with your mum. That's not fair ❤️

Re: Need to vent

@BlueBay I hear you and no it was not your fault. I think you are trying to make sense or understand what your mum was saying to you. And also, when we are not validated by someone who was meant to protect us, it can also be more traumatizing than what happen. Relationships are complex and especially families. We are often taught to not talk about things because we should not trust. Often abuse in families is generational. A lot of what your mum is doing is underpinned by how she was raised and her way to cope with things. I think you need to talk to both your parents and with them both being present. And if it helps, you take someone to support you. What do you think you would like to say to your mum and dad? You have to remember they have probably been through things too and that shapes who they are. I am trying to put myself in your shoes. I hope what I am saying is helping.

Focus on healing yourself and doing the things that bring you peace of mind. Keep your chin up.
