Got laid off two weeks ago. Honestly the weekend feels so different now. On one hand, I am grateful to have a few days to feel “normal” because no one is working and to give myself a break. On the other hand, everyday feels like the weekend so I feel like I can’t give myself a break. Anyone else feel that way?

Give yourself a break. You deserve it.
I know you are feeling stressed but take this time to relax and calm the whirlwind. You will be energized after the break.

I totally get that. It must feel weird and a bit unsettling when every day feels like the weekend. Give yourself small routines or goals each day; it helps bring some structure and makes the “break” feel real. Good luck with your search, I hope you land a job soon.

Six weeks in myself. I’ve taken two trips (on the cheap) including one week away to visit my new (and first) grandbaby. I’m glad to have the freedom to fill my days with things other than application spamming, but I’m nervous about going into the holidays and new year without an offer in hand.

Oh wow! I’m so glad you’ve capitalized on this time!! So happy for you 🥹

But yes, the holidays stress me out.
