It makes me feel very alienated from everyone, even friends. I've shut out a lot of people because of these feelings. I went to my old job on Friday night and I felt great (I was a bartender). I felt comfortable around my old customers and coworker. I just want to feel like that all the time again. Also, having to ask my fiancé to pay for everything from rent to gas for my car makes me feel so low, especially when I was making as much as him ($1600 for 20 hours of work a week) and he works 70 hours a week. Now I have nothing. I feel like I fell off of a mountain.
