Next Friday is my last day of work

[SurvivingEveryday]

Long story short, I am a contract employee for a media company. Well, today I found out that next Friday will be my last day as they chose not to extend my contract. It is nothing to do with my performance or conduct, but they hired a receptionist and no longer have the money to afford to hire me. I am hurt, and bothered. What worries me is that I am like "Ehh" in my mind. I dont like feeling like that, it is almost like "eh, what is another tragedy in my life."

It sucks more because I was going to get health insurance next week. I have been on medicaid but they dont pay for one of my medications so my parents do... I am just really sad and not sure what to do. I guess I am dissociating.

Hang in there and try not to look too far down the road. Think, just one day each day. I know some things sound really frightening as in, there's no way I'm going to be able to do that. But, you'll surprise yourself if you're patient, don't give up.

Thank you! I often lack that optimism, but I keep trying.

Since you have this experience, won't it help you but keep trying. So hard to find right job but if you take any job will be ok, too. At least keep you going. You know your qualities and should be able to transfer these skills to another job. Wishing you luck and fortune

Thank you, friend! I appreciate it. Also, I grew up in the 559 area code. Great people there.
