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.

Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

Sending you lots of understanding hugs @BlueBay as my hips are giving me heaps too

It is bad when meds don't help , the doctor gave me something stronger but I can only take one a day because of my kidney disease

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

it must be very hard for yoiu @Shaz51 especially as you have to be careful with your kidney.

i struggled last night in bed, sore back, hip, stomach causing issues and when I lay still i can feel my body shake a little on the inside (if that makes sense). I am so glad i am going to see my dr tomorrow morning.

off this morning to see my beautiful little A do her dance concert. She is in 2 performances and i just can't wait to see her in her full costume. she sent me a photo this morning with a little make up on and her hair slicked back. Oh she looks so cute.

i have to ask my dr to refer me to another psychologist as the therapist/social worker i am seeing told me the other day that i have only 2 sessions left. i can't continue as she has a long waiting list.

Re: Need to vent

Hey @Snowie

the concert was so so cute. Little A did 2 dances and remembered all her dance. My daughter was crying seeing her little one up on stage. That’s exactly how I was 25 yrs ago.

i feeling very isolated and alone today.
lying on my bed with no motivation to do anything. I just feel like crying and screaming. Anger has set in.

i do have to get up later to see physio for my very sore hip.

hope you ok @Snowie i Know you’ve been struggling and I feel for you. Xx

hi @Shaz51 @tyme @BPDSurvivor @Emelia8 and others following 👋xxxooo

Re: Need to vent

How are you this afternoon my sister @BlueBay ❤❤

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I’m ok atm @Shaz51

I was upset when I saw physio. He couldn’t understand why my hip is so sore. He then asked if everything was ok and I told him I am stressed and feel very isolated atm. So I haven’t walked for days snd want to stay in bed. He said it would be good if I could still walk even a little bit each day as it would help me. I started to cry and he tried to reassure me I would get better. I just can’t expect a quick fix which is my problem.

just getting dinner ready now.
