I've never experienced anything like this before but I sure know how it feels like now to be laid off. I've been with the company for 6 months and I was working so hard to stand out of the crowd and to show them that I am learning and I know how to do my job but it wasn't good enough. Suddenly in a small group we were told that we're laid off. I never really liked my job but I appreciated it and I know I needed it to get by. I felt like I could have done something more and better so that I wouldn't be picked to get laid off. My family was so proud of me that I was working, especially when I had just graduated from college in May 2010 and how my health is getting better that I'm okay to work. Things were looking so positive for me and then I received that news that I was laid off. I have student loans and the many other bills that are lined up waiting to get paid for. All of this is so overwhelming.

take a breath and relax, My mom was laid off 2 years ago, she still hasn't got over it. I know how hard this can be, But you should have unemployment and if it gets to bad you can always file BK. it seems like a lot right now, but you will get through it. God can pull you through it. God Bless you

I am sorry you had to experience this. Please don't take it personally though; it wasn't your fault.
