That's tough, but take a deep breath and go eat your favorite food. As a CPA you have very hirable skills and you'll likely have another good job soon enough. Since you got fired, did they give you severance? Make sure to apply for unemployment today.

You won't get more severance unless it's stated in your contract. But at least a few weeks gives you time to look for your next job. Do you have emergency savings?
I got laid off about a year ago, I’m sorry.
Take time to do something for you today - get nails done, go to a museum without weekend crowds, etc.
Maybe reach out to supporters in your network tomorrow and update your resume, start applying but not desperately.
Make a list of fun things to do during the day - as if you were doing a staycation. Take advantage of not being stuck working on a weekday. Take a trip (I went to CR to learn how to surf, for example). Try to find ways to take advantage. You’ll find something!
Don’t spend all day scrolling LinkedIn, you’ll go nuts and it’ll be a waste of time, to be blunt - diminishing returns.
Guilty? Girl you’re the victim here. Give yourself some grace. You did your job, it’s not your fault the company couldn’t keep up.
Treat yourself! You don’t have to spend a lot of money to do so, but im sure you also have severance coming to do something comfortably - even if it’s a fancy coffee or something. It’s ok and you’re worth it!
