I'm so sorry about your job. That is very upsetting. When I went through that, I grieved terribly (it's a tremendous loss). You have a right to grieve; don't beat yourself up over it. Take a little time for yourself, then pursue new interests or get another job. Blessings

Thank you. This feels very bad. I do not feel as if I will find a new job. As I get older I don't seem to feel as smart as I used to. Don't like much about myself anymore. Thank you for your words.

Thank you for sharing. Depression feeds off shame. The loss of a job brings on shame. You have nothing to be ashamed of, as sadly many lose their jobs for various reasons. It can mean that now you are opened up to finding a better future job. Sometimes we get stuck in a job and forget to look for a better one. Good experienced workers are desired in many places. I hope you find that better job soon. Remember, no shame in getting a better paying higher profile job either. I hope this helped at all. Thank you and God Bless.

Thank you everyone. I seem to fear getting older, and losing my job was one more thing to cause troubles and make an already weak guy even weaker.
Thank you for your thoughts, they are very much appreciated.

work for people = job
work for God = real job

I recommend for you to keep busy, even with small things.

I’m a housewife so you’re listening to someone who is at home a lot. I find things to do to make me happy each day. Today I celebrate Super Sushi Sunday and tomorrow I hope to celebrate money made Monday if I play Bingo. I’m guessing you’ll be looking for a job, but think happy thoughts too. I believe in you!

There is an influx of WORK AT HOME jobs ... some paying quite well. Years ago, it was a scam ... not today. Google it. Hundreds and hundreds of opportunities.

Thank you everyone. I am not feeling great about things, but the comments here are keeping my mind off losing everything for a few moments of the day.
Thank you.

It is nice to hear ideas and thoughts from others here. I see myself having many troubles as of late and I wonder what I can do about it? I have parents who need my care as they are older, and I am not able to take care of things for myself. Less than a year ago I lost my drivers license due to doing stupid things after having a very had day dealing with my aging family. Now as I sit after losing my job, which was no fault of my own I just fear waking up every day. Very hard for me.

I'm about your age. Also help taking care of elderly parent. It's really hard. Facing every day. the future. the whole thing. welcome to this site.

Thank you for your words. I am certainly not alone. I feel alone though as I let my thoughts get the better of me sometimes. I hope that you have folks to help you enjoy things.
