You are right about that. Unemployment can be really challenging. But it also gives you a chance to take a break from working.

Yeah thats true, because when I first got laid off me and my husband agreed I could take a couple months off to relax 😌

I agree with you, I also learned how to be resourceful and other ways to make money. I have been looking for the right role for the past 4 months, but I have also done Amazon Flex and housekeeping work to keep up the bills. Amazon Flex, Doordash and Walmart Plus are great options for extra cash.

Happy to help!

You're absolutely right. It's about feeling safe and secure in your ability to take care of yourself and your family. Unemployment takes all of that away.

I have experienced anxiety. I did not like it . I have found alternatives to my anxiety. I try not to let anxiety sneak it's way back in . I continue to seek employment. Just as much as I help manage myself through this trying time in my life . I sometimes I will tell myself " to be still my restless heart" . I do my best not to get completely absorbed in the nonsense of my life. Level thinking will prevail . Long hot showers with slow deep breathing exercises. Is always beneficial . Get out of the house always freshens me up. Laying on some grass and watch the clouds go by . Take inventory of what's good , what's bad , then what is the best thing to do . Is usually a benefit as well . Like someone said earlier "this too shall pass ". "You can't stop the wave " ," so you learn how to surf ". So go , and prosper.👍🍒🏁🎩😎❤️

This has been the hardest period in my life.

Unemployment is one of the most contributing factor to drug abuse and depression.

I swear the only people who understand that unemployment is financially and mentally draining are those who have gone through it or are currently experiencing it. In late April / early May I was going through severe depression and severe starvation which I was admitted into the hospital for severe depression, severe starvation, and attempted suicide which I thought I was doing bad when there were others in the hospital at the same time as me who were actually worse off although they were in for different things. During my week of being in the Psychology Ward, I ate the best I had in years and also with the sessions had learned many different techniques to help myself and others especially after the 54 years of pain and suffering I had gone through which I never thought I would see 55.

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave. Thoughts?
