Project Manager

Folks that have been laid off in their careers, did you take a pay cut in your rebound role? How big and how'd you cope?

For those that are depressed and struggling in the agency world. I made it through 5 forced hospital visits including being forcibly tied to a bed twice just for talking a little too fast, after being fired for being gay, and now I have my own venture. It does get better. You will get better. Your life is not worth the grind. You have worth. Here's art therapy I did for months to feel better. I hope it helps create some understanding of the seriousness of mental illness in the industry.
