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.

@BlueBay taking some time away from shredding for now sounds like a good idea. You have such a big heart, and there are so many people here who care about and are with you in this moment. Just letting you know I'll send you an email just to check in 💚

Re: Need to vent

Sounds great @BlueBay - I still have what your hubby said to you last week (about him loving you) in my mind. It shows he really really cares about you.

You are so lucky 🙂

Re: Need to vent

Hey @BlueBay , sorry I haven’t been around. So much happening lately. My house got broken into last week. Such a mess up sort out and I still haven’t done it.

I was supposed to move house yesterday but the vendors weren’t ready for settlement. That meant removalists, cleaners, etc all have to be rescheduled….

I have the insurance company coming out to assess the property tomorrow morning…

Just a headache.

Re: Need to vent

oh no my friend @BPDSurvivor i am so sorry for what yiou're going through atm.

having your house broken into must be terrifying and now frustrating because you have to clean it all up. hope there's not too much for you to do.

that's a shame you couldn't settle yesterday. i didn't think the vendors could do this. i would be so angry and annoyed. so now when do you move?

Sending you loving hugs and strength

take care xxxxooo

ps. don't apologise for not been here for me - i totally understand. you need to look after yourself and now you have so much to do with the house and insurance. xxxx

Re: Need to vent

My emotions are so high I want to self harm @Turtlely

@we had a floor lamp for sale. My mum found out through my sister and when I called my parents yesterday she says to me “what are you selling” not even a hello how are you.

i told her the lamp and she said yes she’ll buy it. But trouble was the lamp is so big and delicate that it wouldn’t fit in our car. I then called her this morning to tell her it wouldn’t fit snd suggested that my daughter and her partner can bring it on his truck.
she instantly said “no it’s ok I don’t wNt it now” sorry.
i mentioned agsin that it would fit in the truck and she said no.

this is where I am angry - why doesn’t she want my daughter to bring lamp

it’s now not about lamp

it’s about my daughter and her partner who they still have t met after two years because she finds excuses.
she returned my daughters birthday invitation back to her. Never came.
she is controlling manipulative and narcissist.
thete is a lot I could say

I hate her

she is horrible to me

and why?
because told her about my childhood abuse

Re: Need to vent

the day got worse today

with centrelink and disability network group

more confusion with them; they made an appt for me with the disability group, i turn up to the office and they are not there, they are across the road but are closed because of water in the office. by this stage i was ready to cry. i left and sat in the car thinking how rude is the disability group to not call and cancel appt.

i then receive a phone call from the disability group to say it is a phone appt not a face to face appt. i told him that centrelink had made the appt yesterday and all the crap i had to go through. he apologised and was empathic towards me. i told him that i am not ready for work at the moment, i have had another ptsd incident and he agreed saying he is not here to push me to work. he will work with me and said that he will call me next week.

i then went to centrelink to put a complaint in about the wrong information i was given yesterday about this appt. i don't normally complain face to face but i was so angry that i went straight in. and guess what - i copped the same lady i had yesterday that gave me the wrong information. i said to her what happened and that she gave me the wrong address and appt. she replied "well it's what we have on our system', i just make the appt for you and you need to attend. i told her how 'phone or face to face'. she couldn't reply.

i waslked out of there in a horrible mood, was angry and emotional. my friend msg me for a coffee to which i said i would love alcohol, but we met up at the beach and had a coffee. it was nice to vent and she vented and then we both laughed.

i am about to go out to the sleep clinic to get wired up and then return there tomorrow mornig to take the equipment off.

i have decided that i am not going to invite my parents for christmas. i know i should because i am the daughter - but - i have had enough. and they most likely wouldn't come or give me some excuse to then i would get very upset. so i am not inviting them, instead have my kids and little A. and if it's warm may even go to the beach.

i hope you are all doing okay or as best as you can.

love to all

xxxxooo
