Well, let’s start by reminding ourselves that God is in control, and loves us more purely than we can actually love ourselves. I use the term is/our as while I’m client side, I’m in the EXACT same boat as you.

Our anxiety and subsequent depression is actually a manifestation of our (my) lack of faith in God talking care of me (us).

All that said, tune up your resume, start reconnecting with your network, and shore up your financials. But trust our God… “hard pressed, but not crushed…” 2 Cor 4:8

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
