Anxiety from losing my long time job I loved

[marlisrb]

Hello. I'm new to this therapy thing as I've always given advice to my patients for years. I'm just looking for some support to help get me through this time in my life. I have been experiencing extreme anxiety for the last few months after unexpectedly losing my job. I'm also feeling depressed and useless because I'm in my 60's and it is already proving difficult for me to find another suitable job for as I was in a specialty practice. I'm so hurt and angry from my employer for letting me go as she wanted to save money and keep less qualified employees to care for patients I cared for for many years. I was an excellent employee. I'm having a hard time getting motivated during the day. Has anyone had a similar situation like this happen to them? How are you coping?

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I'm only in my forties, but I remember when my mother hit her fifties she had a similar thing happen to her.
