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.

Hi @BlueBay

I would try and call him. However you need to do what you feel is right for you.

I hope A goes well tomorrow.

hi @hanami @Snowie @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @Emelia8 @amber22 @tyme @oceangirl @Eve7 and others

yesterday little A started school. Only 1/2 day. my daughter and I took her to school, no tears just excitement. So proud of little A. My d and i decided to go for a long walk and then stopped at a nice cafe for coffee. Looked at a few shops then time to pick little A up. She had a great time, having her friends with her, her nice teacher.

Today is rest day and off again tomorrow.

Her dad did NOT call or msg to see how she went. Didn't even go to the school. I felt sad for little A but she really didn't care less. And when her step dad got home she told him all about school.

feeling a bit strange today, teary, overwhelmed with what i did a few weeks ago with the police. i think it is starting to sink in.

Family isn't always blood @BlueBay It is those people who are there for them. Little A will grow up knowing that her Step Dad loves her and sees her as his family. I am glad she has him.

Also glad that she enjoyed her first day and was so excited to go.

@BlueBay Glad little A had a fun day at school and was with her friends and has a good teacher too. It is his loss. You're amazing my sister. Thinking of you.

Hi @BlueBay,

I'm sorry you are feeling flat - it sounds like you are going through a quite a bit both emotionally and physically. I really hope you start to feel better soon. The pain in your neck and arm sounds like it would be quite restrictive. I really hope it improves very soon, particularly before your holiday.

I have sent you an email to check in with you. If you could please respond when you can it would be much appreciated.

FloatingFeather ❤️
