It's nothing compared to a lot of the stories above on here, but I was laid off in July of last year, so I pretty much lost contact with all my work friends. And seeing as I have been depressed and trying to be alone and not social because I am too uncomfortable, they were pretty much all I had as far as friends go (with the exception of 2).
I heard the whole place is falling apart now because there is just no work. It makes me sad. I was there for over 5 years, and it gave me a sense of stability and a place I felt like I belonged. I worked with some great people...one in particular...I miss him a lot. I can still email him and call, if the place is still standing...we dated for a while, and I never quite got over his smile or amazing sense of humor. Seeing him every day always made me feel warm inside.
It's also sad to loose one's "usefulness" as I try to find another job, when I can barely get out of bed because I am so depressed and no medication works for me. I congratulate myself when I do laundry or go to the grocery store, how sad is that??
I was married back in 2006 and we married too soon, a lot happened, quickly divorced...it just wasn't supposed to be like this now.
