    Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I was laid off a few weeks ago and have been unemployed since May 2026. I'm feeling really lost and overwhelmed by the situation. I'm reaching out to see how others are coping with their layoffs. It’s only been a month for me, and I know I need to be patient with myself, but the panic is very real. I've been advised to create a budget to understand how long I can manage my expenses and to seek therapy to help process everything. I’m also trying to stay connected with friends and family, as I’ve heard referrals can be key in landing a new job. I’m just looking for any tips or support from those who have been through this.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I was recently terminated from a well-known company where I was working. It has been a challenging and traumatic experience for me. My leads called to inform me that I wasn't the right fit for the role and that my performance improvement plan (PIP) had not yielded the expected results, leading to my dismissal. Despite this setback, I want to encourage others in similar situations to keep pushing forward in their job search. Don't give up; you can do it!
