laid off and depressed

posted January 30th, 2015 at 8:17 PM

I got laid off from work. Although I did apply for ei and I have money saved up I shdnt be worried about bills. But still not going to work is bringing me down. Today I literally felt that my heart was sinking. Don't wanna push my friends away but I'm ignoring calls and texts. I'm spending my days in my room. It's beautiful outside but I can't bring myself to go do something. The guy who got laid off with me is having the time of his life. Why can't I do that. . I just want to be happy again.

Hope you feel better. Maybe if you spend some time with a loving friend. The hugs, support could lighten the blow.
Really Feel for you

Someone misses you and would help you through this. Don't sulk alone. Call them up and their care will help. Trust me. Don't suffer alone, hiding from the close ones that care about you

well...

You need to talk to your friends. They'll help you, I promise. I got laid off a few months ago and I was crushed, but my friends helped me realize it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I now have a job I love. Just hang in there, and call someone back.

Also, you mentioned having money saved up- now is the time to do the things you never had time to do when you were working, even something as simple as going to the gym during off hours.

Thanks everyone for their kind and encouraging words. I think I'm finally getting over it and accepting it as a part of this career.
Thank you so much to : Well...pt.2
I braved the rain and went to the gym and I'm feeling pretty good. Hopefully I can take advantage of this opportunity and keep going regularly and finally achieve my goal weight.
