From people who came through it
“Not sure if this helps, but please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Talk to your union if you have one, they were brilliant for me. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Ricky V · been through job loss“To whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. I remember the job centre appointment like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Praying for you.”
Student nurse in Eldoret · been through job loss“I 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.”
juanlake1989 · been through job loss“I'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.”
