My gosh why wouldn't you be depressed, Looking4Hope!? When your life takes a hugely dramatic change it's a rough and distressing situation, to say the least! I understand ya feelin vulnerable in posting this but that's what we're all here for, to give support & vent when we need to!
Change is tough enough without all the other things you're dealing with and it's easy to feel kinda paralyzed by it all at first and can cause your self esteem to plummet, which is why it's a good idea to talk to someone that can offer you some support & feedback and maybe a new perspective on things. Don't sit there all alone with it weighing on you. You're definitely NOT a nobody and your feelings matter! You might be surprised at how many others have faced the same type scenario. Some people use it as an opportunity to try another lifestyle or do some of the things they never had time for. Most of us here have had to leave our past lives behind because of our health but that does NOT by any means make any of us worthless or unworthy or mean our lives are over...it means we gotta get really creative & come up with a new lifestyle. I've been beaten down in the depths of despair & depression and I reckon most of us have, but recognising that you're feeling this bad tells ya it's a good idea to talk about it and maybe shed a new light on things. Talking is very cathartic and therapeutic and can get ya thru a lotta stuff. Sometimes just knowing ya have a shoulder to lean on can make all the difference! You're intelligent and have a lot to live for and ya just need to believe that! Things WILL get better and by talking things through, you'll be better able to move past the crushing blow you faced and build your self esteem...and go on toward brighter horizons. That place you worked messed up...they lost a loyal, talented, bright & steady person & it's THEIR loss! Let go of the whole thing and move on, cuz you already KNOW ya got what it takes to achieve whatever ya set your sights on, you gotta believe in YOU though! I can't say enough how really important it is for you to bust outta your self imposed exile and talk talk talk!!! It really helps!!! I will be praying for you & hope things turn around dramatically for you!!!!
Luv n hugs
Critter
