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

Just gone to Ed.
had a weird turn - dizzy sweaty and tingling through whole body

dr just came in and after hearing about everything I’m going thru she said it’s stress reaction.
she wants me to be admitted to private psych hospital where I’ve been before close to home.
she is trying to contact psych.
I feel so exhausted drained

I’m feeling terrible that I’m burdening my family yet again

I don’t know what to do

I have to write an impact statement but I’m very scared I’ll be triggered again

Re: Need to vent

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's stroke @BlueBay 💔😢 Really hoping he will be okay. At least while he is in hospital, you will be able to visit him? Glad you are home now BB, and trust you are feeling better than you were yesterday. But I feel sure this latest news about your Dad will set you back a bit. Try to stay strong during this really scary time. My thoughts are with you.

Emelia 💕🙏

Re: Need to vent

Thankyou lovely friend @Emelia8

I emailed my new psychologist last night to let her know.
she was so supportive and said that if I want yo cry just let it all out. I have so much bottled up emotions that I did cry all day. I was exhausted.
she said to email her again and keep her updated.

I'm seeing my dr and psychiatrist on Monday for more support.
my mind is going to worse case scenario and even playing out funeral in my head.

im hoping to be able to see my dad today. I will ring hospital and ask. There’s a bit of family drama with my youngest sister taking over everything. I can’t believe my mum didn’t even stay at hospital yesterday. She was home!!! If that was me I would be sitting right there with my husband.

anyway we’ll see if he’s allowed visitors I will go with hubby later on. I know he’s having more tests today as they found an issue with heart valve.

I managed to sleep ok.

I cancelled my own specialist appts today. I just can’t face people atm to talk. I did email my gyno and ask if he could email me with results of ultrasound. Even cancelled my physio as I just don’t want to see or talk to anyone. I’m sure he will let my dr know (he’s in same clinic).
I don’t care.

thanks for love and support @Snowie @tyme xxxxx

I understand @BlueBay ♥

It would be fantastic if you got to see your Dad today, so I really hope that can happen.

Sending love and care 💞
