A couple of months ago I was terminated from my job for "asking to many people for advice"-HR... It lead me to having some suicidal thoughts and attempts for being fired for such a b.s. reason. With guidance from former coworkers who lead me even further down a path of self-destruction, I felt betrayed and vilianized for nothing wrong. Thankfully my savings have kept me afloat momentarily but the rejection notifications from all other jobs I have applied for wasn't making anything better.... How can one move forward?
