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

Sleeping sounds like a good idea.

Baby steps baby steps for packing is a good idea too.

Hope you can get some rest

Hi @BPDSurvivor

we move next monday (28th)

i am feeling overwhelmed with everything and not feeling great

been getting these 'ice pick headaches' which are short intense pain that last only seconds but comes out of nowhere

my dr has told me to keep a diary for a few weeks and if it continues daily i need to get it checked out

i am tired; not sleeping properly for the past week.

Lucky you have somewhere else to stay until you get a front door. i know what you mean about building materials. my son has been waiting at least 8 months to start his townhouse and still waiting. it's all to do with tradies and material. he has been told they will start after christmas, but who knows. it is what it is - can't do much.

i just woke up having an hour nap, but now i have a slight headache on my temple and feel yuk ad a bit zonked out. the wind is so strong here today, actually since yesterday.

hope you're having a good day.

thanks @Snowie @hanami @Jynx @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Eve7 for your support.

some moments i don't know how to cope and some moments i just cope and do the bare minimum. today i have had to rest a few times because i couldn't handle the packing boxes and shredding papers. it just gets too much.

sitting now with a cuppa and waiting for hubby to come home about 3pm. son has been sleeping all day as he worked night shift. but he should wake up soon.

i am a bit fearful and anxious that once we move and unpack i will fall in a heap of exhaustion and mixed emotions. the stress of it all takes its toll, i have to change all the addresses on everything; i have had to organise disconnection and reconnection; book people to come and give quotes on things; i have organised everything.

no wonder i am exhausted,

chat soon

love to all xxxxoooo

Totally understand @BlueBay I know that feeling.

In response to: Re: Need to vent

Re: Need to vent

I understand and sympathise with you @BlueBay about how much there is involved in moving house. Having been there and done that all by myself just over two months ago, I still feel exhausted just thinking about it.

But you will step up and do what must be done, as you always seem to manage to do. Despite all the obstacles that confront you every day. So concentrate on just that for now.

Deal with non essentials post move. You have enough to do over the coming week in readiness for uplift.

Reassuring hugs. All will be okay. Rest assured that soon you will be happily settled into your lovely new home.

Em ♥🌻
