Hi there! There is a jobs council that
will help you get through something like
this, talk to the unemployment office
about this, keep your chin up.
Good luck!
Sincerely,
sandy

Hey sandyallen,
i understand what you're going through.
I've been unemployed twice. The first
time due to layoffs and the 2nd time I was
fired. I completely hated the 2nd job
and I had a lot of angst after that.
The worst part about it was that both
these occasions were during the winter.
So not only was I stuck at home all day, I
couldn't even go outside for a walk and I
couldn't afford to go anywhere. Talk
about cabin fever.
I dealt with it by keeping myself busy.
I would try to wake up the same time my
husband went to work. I'd go to the gym
in the morniings to keep myself active.
I would do chores at home everyday so I
didn't feel completely useless and I
looked and applied for work wherever I
could find it.
It helps to use positive affirmations so
you don't get stuck in a rut, which is
really easy to do when you're on
unemployment. I eventually took a job
that paid substantially less than my last
job. However, the environment was nice
and the work was easy. I've been there
for a year and now I have found a much
better job that I will be starting on
monday.
