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.

hi @Emelia8 @Shaz51 @MDT @Owlunar @BPDSurvivor

Today I spent the day in ED. From 8am - 4pm.
I have been having abdominal pain all week. But I woke up this morning again in pain. Decided to get hubby to drive me down to ED. Had blood test, a CT scan to check for diverticulitis. Had a lovely young doctor who prescribed very strobg pain meds as he could see I was very very uncomfortable.
the results showed an impacted colon. That's why I've been in pain.
so a script for a strong laxative to start things moving.
I don't suffer constipation normally it's quite the opposite.

so I get home and after an hour I felt sick again. I rang the hospital and they said I could come bsvk but would be triaged sgsin and wait in waiting room. I'm not doing that again.
I'm in bed now resting. Having taken the laxative. Hubby is being so stupid. Thinks that the laxative has instantly fixed me. He has no idea
I'm tsking tomorrow off work and the hodpital want me to see my GP.
I knew there was something wrong with all the pain I was having. I just wish my doctor believed me. Now he will once he reads the hospital reports and CT results that will be faxed to him.

Re: Need to vent

I really hope they can get your physical health issues sorted @BlueBay . If that means going back to hospital for further assessment and treatment, then so be it. Let them take care of you. And I hope the pain is under control soon. Sending love.

@Emelia8

seeing my gastroenterologist tomorrow morning. He made an early appt to fit me in. Not sure what he'll do or say. Perhaps hodpital then. I'll have to try to stsy positive (hard when in pain) until the morning.
In bed now. My daughter made a broth so I'll have that.
no work this week - oh well health comes first. Need to sort this out. I'll call up wirk tomorrow once I see my specialist.

cant believe how much pain I'm in.

Change of plans @Emelia8

i emailed my gastroenterologist before as psin wasn't subsiding. He's admitting me into hospital this afternoon.
I'm glad as then I'll be monitored for psin meds snd I'm sure I won't be eating for a few days to give my bowel a rest.
bringing a book to read.
