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

That is lovely that you live so close to the beach @BlueBay That is totally okay not to feel like going for a walk today if you don't want to. It is so important to listen to your body and what you need, sometimes even more than what you 'think' you should do. Try and take it easy while you are feeling this way and focus on doing things that you actually want to do ❤️

hello friends @Shaz51 @amber22 @Snowie @BPDSurvivor @Former-Member @FloatingFeather @hanami @tyme @Emelia8

I had a terrible panic attack today. I thought i was going crazy, my mind was racing, it was bad.

I managed to lay down for a little bit. Then when hubby came home we decided to go down the beach. It was beautiful, calm water and warm. Went in for a swim and then sat and tried to take in the beautiful beach. it was so nice that we decided to stay for a few hours, got home after 6pm and then cooked tea. it was a late dinner but it doesn't matter.

i have decided that i will go for my morning walk tomorrow then meeting my D and little A at our old town for Aust Day rides and festival. then in afternoon i will go down the beach again and relax and hubby will come down after he finishes work.

my amazing psych called me tonight at 7.30pm (after i emailed her telling her about my panic attack). She told me that i will be worse now after telling the police my statement. She encouraged me to do little things for myself that i enjoy, keep up the walking and remind myself that i am brave. she also suggested i take a small amount of med to help me sleep tonight.

this is the thing - somehow i don't see myself as brave or strong.

Re: Need to vent

When you can't see you are brave or strong, let others tell you @BlueBay , because you are. What you have accomplished in the last few days in incredible.

I hope you enjoy tomorrow. I look forward to hearing how much you love seeing Little A... melts my heart 🙂

Re: Need to vent

thanks @tyme

i find it really hard to accept compliments

but thanks, i know what i did last week was huge, it took a lot of energy and guts to do.

Just when i was about to go out for a walk - it rains!!

i think i might go and read my book a bit

hopefully rain will stop and i will catch up with my daughter and little A at the Aust Day celebrations this morning

Things are progressing and moving forward! I read it can be scary, but it can also mean a sense of closure @BlueBay . Well done!
