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.

@BlueBay

Not sure what helps you the most, but I began to look at books with pictures and art online. Sometimes I found it calming and good to just lose my self in the looking, rather than getting lost in my own si and sh thoughts. I started posting them on here a bit for a while. I found it a combination of that, music, and moving about a lot, or getting lost in my gardening. So both something active and something to capture your imagination. Not sure what works best for you.

Its been so long we have known each other. It is pretty amazing. I think of you on your side of the bay ...

Walked and climbed here

Nonna sometimes, and daughter sometimes .... like me.

Hugs.

Re: Need to vent

hi @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Snowie @Peregrinefalcon @tyme @Emelia8 @Eve79 and others reading -

thanks everyone for your support. sorry i haven't been on here, not sure i should anymore.

i have had a huge amount of stress and anxiety.

both legal cases are now in the hands of solicitors and one has gone to the human rights commission and the other to victim of crimes tribunal.

but now with the human rights commission (work one) i am stressing and scared of seeing ex employer and staff member who knows me.

i finally saw my dad two weeks ago, that was a very strange visit. my mum continued to be controlling and did not ask about my children or lttle A. after 20 mins i had to get out of there and left. couldn't handle it. my dad looked tired but ok.

i have now put boundaries around them - no phone calls to them at all and i will only call easter sunday and that's it. she does not call me or even ask about us.

i have had a lot of physical tests - gastroscope last week and found i have gastric reflux and an ulcer. i have been unwell and in pain for weeks.

also had a gastric emptying study - results good.

ended up in ED a few weeks ago for flare of diverticulitis.

now have severe constipation where colon is impacted

and a cold on top where i was in bed for 3 days

never felt so lonely

i am either feeling ok and happy for a little bit and then to the other extreme - feeling suicidal. there is no in between .

my psych and GP have been very supportive.

i am sorry i haven't been around for anyone here

i am barely coping day by day

Sending love and warmth. @BlueBay

Setting boundary on your mother is probably a good move. It really helped me to self regulate, by limiting the amount and type of time I spent with my mother.

Best wishes with it all.

Re: Need to vent

We haven't forgotten you @BlueBay . You've certainly been on my heart the whole time.

Please take care. Thank you for updating us.

Re: Need to vent

Thanks for the tag and update @BlueBay ♥ I have been absent too. Good on you for putting boundaries in place regarding your mother, etc. Though it saddens me greatly that you need to do this. Unfortunately you are left with no choice, for your own sake.

Sorry to hear that you continue to experience physical health issues, which will exacerbate any mental health challenges. Really wish life was easier. 💝

Good to see you again. I know you are dealing with so much right now. So I really hope you know how welcome you are around here. And next time you are feeling lonely, you might pop by again?

hi @Snowie @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @tyme @Appleblossom @Eve7 @hanami @FloatingFeather @Jynx

i am lost

very lonely

so much going on

i don't feel the urge anymore to come on here like i used to

i wish it wasn't like this but when you are told to not speak to someone on here - well it hurts

i respect their wishes and they have got their wishes - but it baffles me as to why just me and no one else

anyway i am fearing that i will eventually stop coming on here

it's just that i do miss interaction with others

but at the moment i am not interacting with many at all

my only interaction at the moment is my support people and that's it

i have hibernated from the world

not sure if its a good or bad thing

i just need time

and i am sorry i haven't been around for anyone to talk to or support

i guess i don't feel valued here anymore, and i know it's my head telling me that

i have felt that i am not worthy to talk on here anymore

that no one wants to read what i have to say anymore

and i do understand that everyone has their own issues and it's hard to support everyone

i am sorry

i don't know when i will be back on here

feeling very sad

BB xxxxxxx
