Feeling exhausted, low, hopeless. On top of that the guilt for not feeling grateful. feeling of hopelessness just sucks. Life here is just full of f constraints within which I feel I wasted my health,career, dedicated all good times to others for majority of the time. Feeling extremely empty, clueless, and lost. That’s my confession for today. Don’t ask what happened. If you experienced similar moment, how did you get out of it? Dumb question I know. Also, did you ever believe in higher power?

Yes I believe in a higher power of my understanding. It doesn't matter what you did or didn't do. What matters is what are you gonna do now? It ain't over til it's over. Focus on the road ahead and the world of possibility.

Make work secondary to you for a while. Prioritize YOURSELF and work just enough to keep the job. If you’re clocking until late every single night, try to get yourself out of that case and carve out a break. If you have short term disability benefits, use it. And when you create that time for you, do exactly what SM1 suggests. Movement, sunlight. Hope it all works out for you. I’ve been there. You are probably surrounded by people that are not championing you, cheering for your success, making you feel like you’re a part of the team. Probably that’s the cause. Team dynamics affect our lives so much. Hang in there.

I learned, at least for me, it was job burnout. I'd survived 16 rounds of layoffs which are hard enough as it is. The new owners fired my boss & assistant on the same day. That was tough. The o ly thing worse was I agreed to their offer of a "bonus" if I wouldn't quit. I was the last one in purchasing. I made it another 9 years before my job decided I.T. could handle it. It's still not automated. Sucks to be them.

I stayed true to myself, the knowledge I have and a refusal to give in or quit. I loved my job up until the end. My co-workers were my other family. Even the team on the East Coast I didn't get to meet in person. I'm still in touch with the other 2 Ladies that made up our department.

I was in a happy place until my employer of 22 years eliminated my position. That was 6 months after I lost my husband. I packed up my life, picked myself up by my bootstrap, moved 350 miles & started over. My 2nd career was good until it became toxic, so here I am. I'm working on restart #3 now. Challenge? Sell my cabin, stay with dad a while (lost my Ma in November), get a job & find a place on Oregon to buy when Big Bear sells. I refuse to be required daily to be singled out for matters already addressed and told they were forgotten as they've been resolved. Makes for a toxic environment. Why commute an hour each way to have to deal with that ever day? Not productive, helpful or optimistic to anyone.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
