Hey I’m so sorry! Sending good vibes and reminding you you’re not alone. I suggest you really reach out to friends - see how they are and think of something else. And family too if you’re able. Stock your fridge with extra special items and take care of your body - exercise extra, sleep in more. You will get to a job search stage just not now. Make lists if you need of all your talents. Remind yourself of all the things you excel at even (and especially IMHO) if they’re soft skills. Job loss happens to all of us, be good to yourself, things will be fine and get better!!
So sorry. Just know that everything is temporary. The bad will pass and the good will take the wheel. Best wishes!
Been there and I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. What I can tell you is that you can find a new job and happiness once again. However, it may take a little time. What helped me was to break things down into manageable pieces. First, I got my head straight. I did it through prayer, a CES device, some therapy, exercise and a better diet. Once I was feeling better about myself, I started on my job search. It took awhile but I got there. And so can you. Good luck and let us know how you’re doing.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Break things down into tiny pieces. Take life one minute at a time if need be. You can get through anything for one minute…and on to the next.
Do things you love for a short time, get your mind completely off everything that haunts you. Then improve your health and mind. Exercise, eat right, meditation, read, hangout with friends and family who will actually support you, watch good shows and movies. If you like dogs get a dog or foster one. Every day start doing something that challenges you and soon enough you'll be able to find that motivation again. Trust me as someone who has dealt with this and no work permit being an immigrant here, you can too.
Hi, this is understandably a very difficult time. Always remember you are not alone first and foremost. So I have some questions for you;
1) how would you scale your feelings of depression? From 1-10 . 1 being functioning but lack of drive and 10 being debilitating .?
Once you scale it than you can think about what steps you can take to help you move out of it
Once we are feeling depressed it becomes more difficult to have the positive energy to move forward. Scaling your level of depression can help you to to make choices in how you would like to treat it. Ie; depending on severity what healthy actions do you need to take to get out of it ie; what daily routines can you do to support yourself from exercise, diet , to if you need a little help from a doctor, meds, therapist or coach?
Once you do that and make active decisions on how to care for your self than you can start to build on that more active energy. It’s a way to start feeling that you truly have control of your life . Take it step by step,
The good news is that the only guarantee in life is that nothing lasts forever including how you are feeling right now. Once you begin to feel the depression is something you can get out of then you can start to ask some really important questions about your life ie; are you doing what you love ? What was the reason for the job loss ? Downsizing, politics, management, or not being the right fit for you . Than you can begin to think about what and how you want to move forward ie; doing the same type of job in a company you like or is it some sort of role change , or even doing something else entirely?
Then you can start to make active decisions on how you want to move forward.
Job loss although painful, is an opportunity to reassess and clear your life path for an even better situation.
It’s a step by step approach to getting yourself back on track feeling more positive about your future .
Situations in life can make us feel like we have fallen into a black hole. How deep that is , varies but realizing that you have the tools to climb out is important. The ladder is yours and it’s with you so you can start to climb back up to the light!
