I was fired yesterday and, frankly, it was deserved. I have no one to blame but myself. I knew it could be coming for about ten days, but it still stings.


I've run through a gamut of emotions. For the most part, I've been mopey and depressed. I have almost no appetite and would rather lie in bed and do nothing.


I have no money in savings. My wife, thankfully, is employed. She kept telling me that I just need to accept the fact I was fired and move on. I just feel like such a failure.

I've cried and had dry heaves due to being so upset by this. My diagnoses include OCD and anxiety. Had to take a Xanax last night to go to sleep and another this morning to calm down.

I know life goes on and I that I should just get over this, but it's hard for me. I'd appreciate any positive help or feedback people may have. Thank you.
