I just started a new job today. I left my old one after putting in my two weeks' notice. Well, come to find out after today's work I was let go.

At the previous job I was making under paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't even pay for rent in August so I had to have someone pull out a loan for me so I could.

I don't know what to do. This has never happened to me before. I don't want to be homeless.

I'm so sorry. I recently got let go from my job, and I'm trying not to freak out. First thing, get signed up for unemployment. Since you just started at a new job, I'm assuming your resume and cover letter are up to date. So, start applying. I'm using multiple tools to identify places to work, including linked in, personal contacts and indeed. Best of luck!!

So sorry this happened to you. I had a similar experience last month and am still looking for work. I've had some interviews but it's a very slow process. In the meantime, I'm doing short-term online counseling through Better Help (pay is awful but cleints are referred quickly), Door Dash, and diversifying by listing jobs on Fiverr. It's a hustle every day and I am still having to get a loan to pay my mortgage for next month. Still staying positive and know something will come up soon. Best of luck and positive thoughts to you.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
