Lost job again

And I think some of the rationale for my job troubles is that I am a survivor of 9/11/01 from Aon Group, 101st floor of the South Tower. My job was outsourced out in December of 2005 but every job since then I have mentally compared to that family-weird-bonded company and group of people I worked with back then. If so, glad to find it but I am worried about the bonding effect longer term. Similiar thing happened to crews of US Submarines in WW2 when a ship was subjected to a hellish depth-charge attack for hours and the crew became almost mystically connected together. Same thing possible with me.

Thoughts are bad right now and I am very worried and more scared than I am letting on. Do hope I don't go through the wide awake at 3:30 am routine again. Stress ya know.

I'm so sorry that you lost your job. I just finished writing a post talking about how I am worried about losing mine. It's not for the same reason as you, however.

I am very sorry to hear that you had to go through that. Have you spoken with a doctor or counselor about how you feel?

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
