โA note for the next person. Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was the severance runs out in March. I'm volunteering here now. From someone who gets it.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. For me, a Teams call at 9am and it was over. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ
โI'm not going to pretend it's easy. Losing a job sucks. The ghosting, the silence, the way people look at you. But you're not the only one. I found a training course, met some people. It's small but it's something. Don't stay in the shed too long. And answer at least one message a day. Even if it's just to say you're okay.โ
โI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. Write everything down at work. Dates, times, what was said.โ
