Facing a layoff isn't easy
Permalink  

Hello to all:

I am believing in my HP to open doors for a new job. It has been a bit challenging emotionally these past days. Whew! I did not expect to feel so much emotional pain. I've been through this road before. Just wanted to share and release it. Hopefully I feel better soon. It just hurts so much.

Hawaii

Dear Hawaiilover, just know that millions of americans are feeling the exact same way.

Yes, it is a pain, fueled by fear and insecurity.  I know the feeling---knot in the stomach--cold sweat at 3am.

Hawaiilover, it is no fault of yours---it is this sucky economy!  Just sink all your effort into finding a new job.  Try to avoid negative thinking and negative self-talk as much as possible.  That is the only thing that really helped me.

You can always ventilate about it here, though.  We all understand.

Sincerely, Otie

There are more jobs opening up. Maybe cuz so many are giving up looking? Post office, airports etc have openings.

This is in Oregon though. You might check into things ya never thought of before.

Keeping you in my prayers! It is a very hard time, please come and vent.

hugs,debilyn

Thank you, family, for your love and encouraging words. I have taken the first step and signed up with three Onestop Work Source in my area. In addition to looking for employment, I am taking advantage of the free workshops offered. I will not give up. It is painful. And, I will have to leak my wounds and keep going. Now, more than ever, I have to work my program.

Yes, Otie, I feel that insecurity and know in my stomach. I hope it goes away soon. Thanks again. Sending hugs to all.

 

Hawaii
