I would have to move to get another job—New York, Chicago, Los Angeles/SF...I really don’t want to move.
I really need to be around people. I don’t want to deteriorate—loneliness would get to me quickly. I already feel lonely sitting where I can see people all day. I know it can be worse because in my last job, as they laid people off, I could see only empty desks and I felt so alone.
Are you ok after being laid off? I thought it was a pretty horrible experience. I miss my old coworkers.

Yes I am ok, because like I said, my last job was stressful anyway. The one I have now can be a lil stressful and triggering, but I guess I feel I have more control because I am alone and can just not answer a few calls if I choose to because Im feeling down or whatever. I do feel a lil lonely sometimes and thats why I chose to come to this site, to be able to connect with others sometimes.
