      Losing ones job is right up 'there' in the top 5 worst stressors.

      I think you will feel just fine when you find a job. Your entire structure has fallen apart but you'll fine something out there. Times are so hard right now and boy you didn't need this. I said a prayer for you.

      Chronic depression seems to run in my family.

    • Open Anxiety

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
      My mind is creating a spiraling out of control scenario but I don't seem to be able to slow it down to take it one day at a time which is what I'm trying to tell myself
    • Open Financial Challenges

      I recently lost my job of 20 years. I have little chance of making that income again and will have to adjust with a new job.

      Treatments

      Budgeting Too Soon to Tell
      I can budget pretty well so I am not too worried IF I can do it, just what I have to cut out. Life was pretty sweet. I Know it will be sweet again, just different.
      Holding a Garage Sale Too Soon to Tell
      I practice detachment, that is, not being attached to things. So selling stuff is easier than it once was.
