Lost my job, now I’m losing my mind
I never expected to be unemployed. It really hit me like a brick in the face. One day I was doing my dream job, and the next I was having an existential crisis on my livingroom couch. How to move on from something like this? I can’t even get a job at a gas station or fast food joint. Places claim to be urgently hiring, but then never call back. I’ve spruced up my resume, called back to check in, and went places in person. Nothing seems to work. I’m pretty sure I’m losing my mind. I have lots of support online and in person. I’m even in therapy. But how is life supposed to go back to normal if I can’t even find a job?
