Big changes and challenges for me

Hi All,

Well my life took a very unexpected turn this week.  I was let go from my job on Tuesday.  Absolutely no warning, no indication, no reason.  So after two days of going from tears and major depression to embarrasment, to anger, and still depression, to fear of what am I going to do now, and the realization that I am going to bring home less than half of what I made through unemployment, I am now dealing with what do I do all day, and I don't want to eat my day away.  I think the last few days I have been in shock, so eating has been scarce (as the food in my fridge!).  I am almost afraid of going grocery shopping!  So I figured I would give myself this week, and then I am going to drag my butt to the gym every day.  I have no excuse now, and I have a gym 7 minutes from my house.  I am also going to be able to attend support group meetings again, which is awesome.  I have missed everyone.  

So all I have to say (as the last of my tears are streaming down my face!) is "WATCH OUT WORLD....SHE IS LOOSE!"

 

  Until we meet Martha know you are being hugged from here.  I wish I could send you somewhere to look for a job, but I have no clue what is in your area.  I wish you the best of luck with your search.  It is never easy looking and to be let go with no notice is worse.  I am sure you will land on your feet and this will turn into a better oportunity for you.   We are here for you and vent, cry, yell, exercise, and step away from the table.  

TTFN Hugs
Laurie

Thanks Laurie!  I will probably be on here a lot more.  Everyone understands what I am going through here more than anywhere else.  I really want to meet you, so let's try and say hi on Monday!

Oh Martha!! I am so so sorry to hear this!! I think when I got done crying, I would be PISSED!!!!!  Good for you for knowing you will have to be very careful now!  Hope to see you Monday night. HUGGSS!  Cindy

Hot damn lady that is  huge change!! As much as it totally sucks maybe its a blessing in disguise... and you seem to be looking at the positive which is great!!

You know we are all here for you and will keep an eye out for any prospects (closer to home than Concord!).

Hang in there... and follow that plan... looks like a good one to me :) 
See you Monday!!!

Wow Martha!  I am so sorry to hear of this turn of events!!  I am sending very positive thoughts your way, keep your head up.

Thanks so much for the hugs...they mean a lot to me.  I am actually doing better.  Two huge moments for me - I went grocery shopping Thursday afternoon, and after talking to myself in front of the ice cream freezers, I walked away.  The twix bars were calling me too, and I passed on those.  Then in Walmart today, the same thing....even though the Cadbury Mini Eggs were screaming at me!  Monday morning I am at the gym, and I am making a list of things to do. So I am getting my feet back under me again. 

Good for you Martha!!!  You are a strong lady and you WILL come out on top of this! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night, hang in there!  Cindy
