I was recently terminated from my job for misconduct for printing a cartoon of a manager pointing a gun at an employee for a coworker who posted it for other employees and customers to see. I am 55 years old, was on the board of directors of the company and also a warehouse supervisor and got fired for getting involved with a cartoon with a gun. What is wrong with me why do I do such immature and hurtful things to myself and family. Since I got fired 2 months ago I am living in self pity and playing the scenario over and over of my termination. I am feeling depressed and my family knows it. I have lost the ambition to ever want to work again as I have health issues and not physically fit. Can anyone offer some advice.

Why do I screw up every good thing in my life.
I'm in a similar age bracket. We have to realize the world has changed drastically. What may have been taken as a " funny joke" years ago is now unacceptable.
What's done is done. You just have to get back out there and start looking.
Hey..we all do immature stuff in our lives,I did a real whopper yesterday.
Sometimes life needs us to do these things..its freaking stressful as all heck.
We don't live in a fantasy world,although I'd like to for a day😁
Plus..our society has gotten so uptight on what is funny n not so what does one do anymore,before u get a slap on wrist comes.
U have brains,work history behind u..get back on that horse n take this as a new chapter in ur life with better things to come.
It's not like u killed someone's cat..u just made a silly error in judgement.Everyone has been in ur shoes at some point.
I'm rooting for u 😀 Your gonna do just fine😀
I’m so sorry to hear that. We all make mistakes and do things we don’t always think about the consequences or long term effect. Maybe it was a way for you to distract? Sometimes I do impulsive things when I’m stressed. Just try to keep reminding yourself you aren’t a bag person and you didn’t ruin your whole life. You made a mistake, but we all make so many. I’m sure you never meant it to cause harm. I hope you are able to find a new job and start a new journey. Maybe talking to your family about how your feeling will get you some support from them. Try to be nicer to yourself! You are still a good person. Sending good vibes your way 🤙🏻
