Constant Anxiety Being On Unemployment
Hi everyone,
Im new here. I lost my job and have been on unemployment since June. Although I have quite a bit of experience and skills, I cant stop doubting my own abilities. Ive only had a few phone interviews with no positive results. I try to keep busy with the job hunt, but its emotionally exhausting. My finances are super tight each month, and I often feel like a failure for being in this position.
Has anyone else gone through this? How did you cope?
Thanks, everyone! Glad to be here.
@Desiderata89 I'm sorry. I know how triggering money problems can be for one's anxiety. I don't know if I really have any advice. I try to budget and I try to lower my anxiety in general through exercises like meditation. Have you found anything particular that has worked for you?
How are you doing since you posted this thread? Are you still on unemployment? Are you still struggling with your anxiety? I would love to hear from you soon!
