Lost my job

Sigh, I am joining the unemployment line today, go me... sigh
Yeah a job I put my blood sweat and tears is now gone, lost due to an idiot boss.
Right now I am EXTREMELY depressed, I dont feel right...
UGH!

Im very sorry Mr. MadmanRB.

Thanks, I can use some well wishers.

My job kept me stable though, I didnt go to it solely for money but to keep my mind off things.

Not those things will come to haunt me, they aree bound to cripple me for a while.

Stupid bipolar disorder.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully your job hunt will be short. You may want to look at volunteer work between jobs to keep your mind off things. Good Luck.

Yeah, I mean I can apply for technical courses with my off time.

I already got an offer from http://www.lincolntech.edu/

Hello MadmanRB:

What geographic area are you seeking employment?

Taking into account your education and work experiences, what types of employment are you the most qualified for?

I feel ya Mr. MadmanRB, i suffure lifelong major depression and chidhood and service connected PTSD, im disabiity due to all that and im a 4x stroke (one major whicj affected my brain and speech, im i stutter big time and 3 mini strokes where my brain shuts down the signals to my right arm and i ose the use of it for a day or two).  if it wasnt for the v.a, my pc. gaming, and bleeping computer, i would still have regular psych ward stays.  chin up my friend you can msg me anytime you want, brother.

I used to be very depressed when AT WORK, it didn't matter what sort of job it was, I hated them all!

As a result my working life was very patchy, I'd either walk out at the drop of a hat or get fired and be out of work for many months but I didn't mind in the least because I was happy to be free of the daily grind.

I'm 68 and retired now, and have never been happier, I go in lots of internet discussion forums and gaming groups and talk to people all over the world.. 

@ OP,

Sorry to hear that. Judging by your posts l'd say you're easily capable of finding a new job in IT. Perhaps one with better pay / prospects / people. This could work out well.

its never fun losing a job but when one door closes another always opens up don't let it discourage you from seeking something you might be happier doing

What where you doing for a job mate and where are you as far as countries go?

i know there is basically no work where i am and Australia as a whole has been going down since the Liberals took office in 2013 and will take years to recover.

Also when it comes to depression, i find getting off the computer and going for a walk either a power walk for an hour or taking the dog helps but thats just me.

Sorry to hear you lost your job. I hope you find something you like soon.

Our personal philosophy and religious leanings can be a great help, they won't make us immune to the punches life throws at us but they help us roll with the punch..

I was very lucky. I became a medical rep when I was 30. A good salary, a car, and getting to talk about a subject I was very interested in. I could never understand when colleagues moaned about the job. I liked it so much that I turned down several promotions. The only time I get depressed is when people try to convert me to god or religion.
