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

Here with you @BlueBay. We can sit through the anxiety together for a minute... maybe opt for a cup of chamomile, a favourite song, a kids movie, or a familiar soft toy to cuddle. You're not alone

I want to withdraw from the world

will it stop my anxiety - maybe not

Re: Need to vent

You're allowed to withdraw if you need - maybe that is your mind signalling you to rest. Sounds like you're restless as well though, feeling like you need to do something with yourself... so maybe it's not physical rest you need, but emotional rest.

I hope you can ride the wave through the SH urges and find something else to allow you to feel in control, or get some relief. Know that no matter the outcome, you don't need to feel ashamed of doing whatever you need to do to cope. I posted this earlier in another thread, might be helpful here too:

Hi friends @Shaz51 @Jynx @Emelia8 @MDT @BPDSurvivor @Owlunar @Faith-and-Hope

I'm going to bring up my anxiety and health with my psychologist tomorrow.
ive just taken a medication for my irritable bowel pain. Hoping it will settle soon before I go to work 11-3 on registers today.
Need to be in a very strict plain food diet for a week.
mood slightly better. I think anxiety is not helping my stomach issues.
hope you are all ok today xxoo

Hi everyone @MDT @Emelia8 @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @Owlunar

was woken up at 3am eith diverticulitis pain. It sort of subsided but not really. I called my gastroenterologist who was in surgery but he's receptionist contacted him and he requested an urgent blood test and he'll get results tonight snd csll me tomorrow afternoon.
but he said if pain gets worse to go straight to ED.
so I had to get hubby to drive me to gastroenterologist rooms pick up pathology paperwork and quickly go to pathology for blood test. I was lucky because the pathology was closing 10 mins after I got there. They will do test at 6pm and my specialist will have results tonight.
so I'm not eating tonight. I just feel my abdomen is too inflamed. I need to rest.

And so life goes on....
