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 friends @Former-Member @tyme @Shaz51 @Snowie @FloatingFeather @Emelia8 @Eve7 and others following

i saw my gastroenterologist yesterday as an urgent appt. he said i do have a mild flare of diverticulitis and yes it can be missed on a CT scan. I knew i had it just by the same symptoms i get. But you can't argue with drs in ED. Anyway he gave me a script for meds in case the flare gets worse over the weekend. He wants to see me again in 6 weeks time.

i also saw my psychiatrist on thursday and it was a bit tough emotionally. i told her about my mum not letting us go there last weekend. i told her that if my dad passes away and i don't get to see him i will be very very angry with her. lets hope this doesn't happen. but you just don't know. i still have so much anger towards her and her behaviour to me. i started to cry because it really hurts deep inside. it's hard to explain unless you have been through similar situation.

we spoke about intimacy and how i feel so guilty for not been close to hubby. i told her its my fault. i am to blame. but she said i am too hard on myself and need to give myself a break. she suggested starting by communicating as that is important. she asked a few personal questions to which i honestly replied (first time ever to a psych) but now i wish i didn't. because of fear of being judged. now i feel even worse.

she is seeing my again next week so i will talk to her about this.

going for a walk for the first time in a week. my hip has been not bad since resting; i have slight abdo pain but trying to push through. walk then coffee then op shop to look for a cupboard for the garage. then little A is coming down this afternoon for the weekend.

her favourite meal tonight - meatball pasta, movie and tomorrow beach day and picnic lunch.

can't wait to see my GP on monday morning to get results of sleep study.

hope you all have a nice weekend. lots of love. xxxxxoooo

speak soon.

I saw my doctor this morning. Had to get a script and results from my sleep study. My doctor knew I was in hospital last week as he saw my discharge on his computer. This week I have an ultrasound done and my doctor is interested to see if anything shows up with the fibroid as in change of size or eruption. The gyno I made the appt with is my doctors friend so that’s a good thing.

my sleep study is terrible. My oxygen levels were low which is not good.
It showed I woke up 32 times in 1 hr. That’s a lot.
so next week I try a CPAP machine for a month.
I’m worried. I’m not sure I’ll get used to it.

Went with my D this morning to the school uniform shop for littke A. OMG you should have seen her. So tiny in a school dress that was too long. All of a sudden she looked like a big girl.
My D bought everything she needed which she was happy about.

Hope you all have a nice night. Xxxx

Hi @BlueBay

Sounds like you got some answers today.

I hope you can get used to the CPAP machine. My Dad used to use one and helped with his sleeping.

It would have been really nice to see little A in her big school uniform. I bet she was excited to try it on.

Hi @BlueBay

Sorry to hear the sleep showed crappy results. But a CPAP machine could really help. I imagine it's an adjustment though. I hope it goes well for you.

Naw, sooo cute about your grandaughter. Love when they try on their uniform for the first time! Is she excited about going to big school next year?!

Wishing you a lovely day

Hanami
