I lost my job today....
Just like an alcoholic turns to booze....the first this I wanted to do was eat ice cream!!!!
I am scared!!! I am a single woman and I live by myself. How am I going to pay my bills??? Pay my rent??? At least couples have each other to lean on but I have no one. What am I going to do??? I am soooo screwed!!!! My boss was so callous about too. When I said he gave me no warnings or feed back about any performance problems....he said "what's done is done"
At least I was able to hold my head up high and walk out of there. But when I got to my car I fell apart and cried like a baby.
Now I might end up homeless and on the street!!!

I am so very sorry!!!!! It sucks, stinks and is so F'd up!
With that said the one thing I do know that must of us do with weight problems is punish and beat ourselves up and eat to feel better and get fatter!
I suggest tonite you mourn your job, praise yourself for being a Beautiful human being and an outstanding mother!!! Get rest and begin to look for work immediately!!! do not give in to punishing yourself!!
Also you didn't state what you do for a living and I think you should as you never know who is reading these posts!!!
Any time you need to vent or just ramble post away!!!

Band removed and feeling alive with energy!
Oh I'm so sorry your boss was such a dick! No one deserves that type of treatment
and especially not one who has worked so hard for this jerk. Take a deep breath and
believe for a moment that nothing happens by accident...everything does happen for a reason.
You can apply right away for unemployment and if it were me, I would seek a lawyer for
wrongful termination...or at least make your boss think you are seeking legal help. He owes you an explanation at the very least.
And I am sorry..it is scary I am sure. And I am thankful for my boring thankless job, and hope it lasts. But..nothing is permanent. Take a few days to polish your resume ..I hope all your friends come out of the woodwork.. It is going to be okay. I promise.

Crystal, I am so sorry.
You are right about a couple having at least a backup plan if both are working.
As others have said, take a little while to mourn, and then formulate a plan.
Find out what type of resources are available (resume writers, job placement, unemployment, back to school grants, etc).
Make a list of things to do besides eat --- get some exercise -- start your days with a brisk walk to get yourself energized and have a reason to get out of bed.
Hang tough, friend.

Well I had a few more hours to digest this...and I'm still stressed and upset. If I was a drinker I would be drunk...but I don't drink.
The thing is about me when I am under extreme stress my band clamps down...I haven't felt like eating since I got home. I ate some crackers so I could take some Tylenol PM...but I just don't feel like eating. So I think I will drink some water and try to sleep.
I worked in the accounting department as the Accounts Receivable Supervisor. I worked there for 8 months. My last job I had for 9 years.
I do try to keep telling myself that things happen for a reason and I will find out what that reason is. Some f the worst thing in my life were the beginnings of the best things. The truth I didn't like it there. Maybe I will find something I like better.

Crystal I'm really sorry to hear about your job. Keep your chin up there is always something better around the corner.
Take care of yourself dont let yourself get into that dark place because its a ***** to get out of . Get up , eat right , take your walk , and get ready for a brand new life with a much better job that you enjoy alot more.
