Worn & Being Worn Down

I lost my job to a dishonest manipulative 'Sc** bag'. I have had to move in with my brother temporarily. I am a very private person in addition.
The atmosphere of the people were I have had to move to also is wearing. Between being on JSA which is depressing. I feel trapped.

Getting harder and harder to stay positive. An abundance of negative factors. And a neighbour hood/town that is run down were the locals are not nice people... and always have a high degree of negativity. Crime infested cess pit.

Getting out walking into the country side or biking is the only things that are keeping positive in a negative situation among overly negative people that like running other people down....

Losing a job sucks. I had to recently leave mine because I need back surgery. I live with my parents and had plans to find my own place before this happened, even checked out a few places.

Sometimes life throws us a curve ball. Go to networking events. Spruce up your resume if you haven't already. Remember, it's temporary. Life will get better. Utilize everything you can: linkedin, job search sites, temp agencies, ask friends if their companies are hiring.

And keep being active. That always helps.

Sorry about your situation. Losing a job and moving into a place without the privacy you're used to is extremely stressful. I know it's hard for me to get over a job loss when unfair treatment is involved. Stay focused on what you can control like spending as much time as possible with positive people who will encourage you. Cut off any toxic people who only drain you from the energy you need to go forward with a new job and place to live. Remind yourself that this will pass and you have better days ahead. It is very hard sometimes. I'm dealing with a lot now myself. Keep in touch.

Only problem is there are no positive people in colwyn bay. People around these parts purposely try to wear other people down.

Most recent is gossiping demoralising people. Because I lost my job that immediately makes me a bum.

Coming from people who have crap jobs, no education, no skill sets and family that sit around the house doing nothing all day than trying to cause trouble.

Working 8-16hr days 5-6 days a week on my brothers house, job hunting for an additional 5hrs a day.

Does this seem lazy to you? are these the actions of a bum.

No!

Horrible derogative people.....
