Struggling

[Iwantjoy01]

Hello. I lost my job, no one to turn to. I feel defeated, lost and hopeless. No energy or desire to do anything... I'm afraid for me! I am seeing someone, but can't be there for him, Im not present for myself. How do I pull myself out of this to get a job, and to live?

You just keep going. You look for a job right away. Get a makeover, reinvent yourself and show up to those interviews raring to go!! My hubs lost his job and after 15 months still no action and we lost a house and a car and live with family. Don't get in that rut. Maybe this is the change you needed but never would have made. God sometimes points us in the right direction. 🙏

Is it wrong to just want a job that I just go in and do. It may be below we my capabilities and experience, but will not have to give my soul to. I just can't go back to the stress and responsibilities. I want to perform the work, and leave it there. The.pressure and stress of work, leads me to depression and anxiety!

If you can support yourself in a no passion job its fine but there's nothing like finding your passion at work, especially since it's so often. Maybe you had the wrong job or you need a new type of work.

Im sorry you lost your job😢. I feel for you.

If you want to take the time to cry over it and get all that stuff out of you, then do it. It's healthy. It's not easy to be let go or be fired from a job. It does happen & it hurts. You are allowed to feel like crap. It's not wrong to feel like this. I think it would be unhealthy if you didnt feel like this.

As time goes on, and you fully process this and accept that this is what happened then you can move to the next chapter. When one door closes, another one opens...

Dont allow yourself to feel down in the dumps forever. Theres another job that is out there that is better than this last one. You gotta go get it...

But you will get there in time. Right now, you need to give yourself time to feel these feelings bc it hurts and it's OK!

Life is filled w ups and downs and it's not perfect. Happens to everyone. You're not alone!

I appreciate your response. It is do difficult when you're fighting alone. Every step requires such effort. I will push through, but so afraid I will be back in the same space. Unhappy, anxious and depressed, whike still having to do a job. No down time to heal my mental... employers don't want to hear it, and trying to get mental help still having to perform in a job is so hard. It's just me, so no one to catch me if I fall.

How are you feeling today? I know how difficult it is to get moving when you're down. Is there anyone you can speak to?

I feel for you!! Your situation is hard.

Cautious baby steps are sometimes the best way to move forward when we are unsure about our own walking ability. Stepping out to something brand new sounds daunting. In what work areas do you believe you would be gifted?

Sometimes we just have to take time to consider possibilities. Counseling, churches, support groups, strength finding books, and family and friends who know us well and love us are often good resources. Have you considered any of these?
