Keeping my mind busy with work was the only thing preventing me from having dark thoughts (SI) I don’t have any family, never married. I got laid-off a few days ago and I’m feeling helpless and stupid for working so hard.

It's not a bad thing to care about your work! But it definitely stinga to look back at how much you gave to an agency that gave nothing back. How are you keeping busy? Any new hobbies to sink your teeth into?

I was laid off too, but if it helps, it says more about the state of the industry and the people who are running the show.

Got laid off in tech corp dev making 250-300 all in.

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? 😞

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
