Look for expert health. A therapist or a psychiatrist will help you. There’s nothing wrong with getting medical support.

Yea agreed. I’m currently uninsured. I’ve been unemployed since October. There’s medication I rely on I can no longer get. It’s a slippery slope to suicide.

There are therapists that offer scholarships/sliding scales for financial difficulties. See if you can look for some in your area. I know it’s hard. I’ve been out of a work over a year and my partner was laid off mid last year. Hang in there. You’re not alone. I see you for what’s worth and I’m sorry you’re hurting right now.

Agree with the advice to get professional help. I know the last thing you want is to accrue more debt but it’s probably worth it to put it on the credit card. I’ve been there myself and sometimes you just can’t get out of the dark pit without help.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.

I’ve been tracking the recent tech layoffs. It’s hard too see so many talented people be affected. Has anyone seen data around the type of roles being most affected? It looks like Marketing Ops roles have been largely spared from the layoffs. What is everyone else seeing and experiencing out there? Marketing Ops has always felt relatively safe because most teams run lean anyway, but we’re living in strange times.
