i have recently lost my job a couple of months back. The reasons behind the termination where fishy on a good day. Anyway, since that time I havent been able to find I decent so I can support my self and my family. I have nothing going good in my life right now. Truely, nothing. I have tried like hell to fight against becoming depressed and letting bad thoughts enter my brain. I have put on a happy face for the betterment of the people around me. I dont know what to do, or how to keep my life moving in a posititve direction, but I dont think that there are good things that can happen to anyone. Its over jonny

Ive just hit rock bottom with this. I cant seem to get over the hump and feel better. I have phoned in almost every person that owes me a favor to help me out, and NOTHING has panned out. I feel hopeless.

It is perfectly normal to feel hopeless in a situation like this. For many of us our careers begin to define who we are (right or wrong) and when that goes away we begin to lose sight of what really defines us (family, friends, relationships). You will get another job in your field; persistence is mandatory. In the meantime focus on what got you the job in the first place and re-apply that energy to the other part of your life (family, friends, relationships). Come here and vent, but don't give up hope.

i have tried not to give up hope. I worked really hard to get where I was. I just dont know what to do. I dont drink or do drugs. I dont party or stay out late. Im a pretty straight edge person. All I had was hope, and now I have nothing.

Dude I have been where you are now. It is frustrating, belittling, miserable; but it does get better. Take a step back and regroup. Get a job that you wouldn't mind doing for a short period of time. It will take your focus off some of the negative and allow you to network through a better vantage point; not feeling desperate to get back to what you were doing. Set a plan, 3-mos, 6-mos, a year. Map it out and systematically get back to where you want to be. Most importantly don't act like you need to get it all back instantly.

Ive tried that, i had a plan to be back on the job in six months or less. I guess my plan isnt working out like I had....planned?...Some say its just a rough patch, that i will get through. Im really not buying any of it. I hate feeling desperate, like there is nowhere to go. I cant sink any further down (i hope) but who knows at this point.

Patience my man, it demands patience. Feel free to pm me if you want to talk offline. I've been where you are and it does suck, but it does get better.

Hey, hang in there. It will get better. It will get better. You'll look back on this as a rough patch, nothing more.

Thanks, I guess I just I have just a rough patch over the past couple of months. Thanks for words of wisdom. Im a pretty young guy (26) and I know I have alot of life in front me. Im thankful that I can post up here and get some advice. Im not a person that gets down on myself to much, but the other day it just felt like it was too much. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. thats my new plan. Thanks guys.

I have been doing some thinking, taking all the advice that I have gotten in and hopefully I can move in a more positive direction.

How about taking some of that free time and get your self a sig pic ?

Would it make sense to reexamine your career and make a new start in a different direction? School? Completely different career path? start your own business? Just some thought. 26 is plenty young enough to reinvent your career it may also invigorate you

GOOD LUCK

I love taking care of people, sick not sick, old or young. I wouldnt imagine doing anything else. riding in the ambo is such a good thing, not because I get to drive fast with the siren on, but I can make a difference in someones life no matter what age, color, creed whatever, it truley doesnt matter. I have been some of the nicest houses, and the worst ghettos you can imagine. I just have alot on mind about "the job" and what I've been through lately and needed to vent some of it out.

If it helps, I was out of work for about 2 1/2 years. I didn't have a family, but it still sucked ass almost every day. My best advice is to keep your chin up. Blowing off some steam every once in a while helps too. You'll get back in the swing of things before you know it.

Im sorry to hear that, but your friend is a hero to thousands. I dug at WTC for 3 straight days, 9/15-9/18 almost 24 hrs a day for the entire wknd. I lived through alot already, byt one foot in front of the other, one day at a time. Its my new mantra
