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

Hi @BlueBay

Medication can take time to take effect and you should only take it as prescribed. Are there things you have done in the past while waiting to feel better after taking medications?

Having a chat about what is going on for you might help if everything hurts. You can call the SANE Counsellors between 10 am and 10 pm and get support.

Thank you for reaching out here!

Take care

Re: Need to vent

Oh @BlueBay ❤️

I hope your body can find its way to little naps, give you small moments of peace.

Pain is horrible, go gently, it takes time but it will not always feel this way.

Sitting with you 🌻

Re: Need to vent

thank so much @Former-Member

i am thinking this pain is from all the stress from the other week, where i put a statement to the police about my childhood sexual abuse.

i haven't done anything wrong to my neck/back, i haven't pulled a muscle

it's the trauma and stress - affecting my body physically and mentally

i hope that by going away for 2 1/2 weeks will be a great break

i don't want to be in pain while in the car driving to our destinations

Re: Need to vent

decided to leave tomorrow for our holiday

staying at another town

i think for the sake of my mental health and especially feeling abandoned and rejected from here -

I will stay away

i would love to find out why i am not included because it feels horrible especially as i don't know what i have done

it's not nice to post a couple of times and get no reply

I don't want to - but i am feeling very unwanted 😥😥

Re: Need to vent

You are certainly wanted here hon @BlueBay I don't think you realise how much you mean to me, how many times you have helped me.

I think we all struggle at times feeling unwanted. You are not alone in this.

I hope your holiday goes well and you can enjoy yourself.
