HI Caphf

Welcome to PC.... and I am glad that you became a member. I am so sorry to hear of your job loss. That in and of itself is so stressful. I really want there to be some sort of hope that you still have a family who loves you not for just your job status. Have you tried unemployment? Do you know what your options are right now? There must be an agency that can help you with some answers. I sure hope so.

I wish you the best!

Hi Caphf,

I hope you can use the holidays to relax and recover from all this. I know how stressful at least the job part of your situation can be. One advantage of a crisis like this is you find out who you can really count on, if anyone. Look around the site and be in touch. In the mean time, here's a guided meditation that I really like

I'm sorry you are having it so rough right now. But when the say "and this too shall pass" it's usually true. Only 5 months ago I was determined to end my life. Now I'm ready to face the world. My only advice is to hang on. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
