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 was where you are this time last year. It was the job centre appointment and I couldn't see past it. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart.โ
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
โIf you've just found this place, I was where you are in 2022. My LinkedIn says open to work, and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.โ
