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.

Distract, distract, distract @BlueBay ...... what is Ayla up to today ? Can you go for a play at the beach with Ayla and D for a while ? There is something calming about the waves and the breeze.

Re: Need to vent

That's a good idea @BlueBay - resign from your job - that's a good decision

Hey @BlueBay ,

I'm sorry things didn't go according to how you expected.

I'm happy you took time out to go to the beach.

Let's pause for a moment:

- consider the reasons as to why you did not receive a call (to me, if they didn't call even though they said they would, there could be lots of reasons; also, they did not call you to say you did NOT get the job...so let's wait)

- next, do you think it wise to act while you are emotionally triggered? Think of what your job is providing you. I can see you are saying 'nothing', yet looking deeper into it, you are getting paid, you have a change of scenery, you have been given responsibility.


Take time to pause, consider these things, then make your next move. Acting emotionally may come back to bite you. I know this from a BPD perspective.

Hugs,

BPDSurvivor

@Owlunar I'm so tempted to resign on Monday - but - I think that's my emotional mind talking. You're right @BPDSurvivor not good to make decisions right now.
but it would be good to resign.
I'm so unsure. I'm now going with my daughter to pick up littke A from her dads

I've decided to see another doctor. There is a new clinic and wellness centre opened this week. It's only 10 min walk from hime. I'm finding that lately my dictir is very blasé about my physical and mental issues. He will not prescribe any strong pain meds for my hip bursitis. I feel that a few times he hasn't taken me serious snd then I feel he fobs me off.
I'm still in a bit of pain mid upper abdomen. Waking up at night in pain is not good.
this new clinic will be doing yoga snd Pilates and I'm interested in starting.
