For the last few days I have been questioning my decision to transfer. I like the company that I work for, but the pharmacy is hard, exhausting work. The store I work at now is very small, cramped and has not natural light. I know that my depression has spiked a bit and the location change might be part of the reason.I was also on the production bench by myself for the first time on Saturday and I was drowning. It's a lot of multi-tasking, which is difficult for a normal functioning brain, it's almost impossible for mine now. Since I'm not 100% confident on production or the location of any medications it is quite easy to get overwhelmed.
Maybe being a pharmacy technician is too much for me to handle at this time. I felt like I was doing well in Ridgefield in the front store because I knew what I was doing. I have retail experience and retail is not too difficult anyway. I felt good helping people find what they needed and providing good service. The pharmacy is difficult because it's understaffed and very busy. I know it's a good place to train, but it can be very overwhelming.
I will give it another week to see if anything improves because I've only been there for 10 shifts. I am improving because I am able to get into the computer system, look things up and print out labels. I just can't do them all simultaneously. I don't know if I'm better off at a slower pace until I really get things down.
I do want to go back to Ridgefield because it's where I was hired from. Maybe I should have asked for a supervisor position. I just don't know what to do.
