Feeling lost
Hello, everyone!
It's my first time here, I came upon this app cause I just really need someone to talk to or listen to me. I've been going through a lot in my life, and I would often invalidate my feelings that other people are having a hard time or much worse than me. I am really lost right now. The current company I'm working for is not doing well and they had to do a furlough and it includes me. Today would be my last day to work. I actually tried applying for jobs, had an interview two days ago but the offer was really low, and I panicked and declined it 😭 Now, I am regretting that I declined it, I was really hoping for atleast a salary that is at par with my previous one, since I support my family, but now I feel like I should have just taken it instead. Been having panic attacks since that day. I'm really tired of pushing through life, it seems like no matter what I do, it's not enough or it always doesn't end up well 😭 So sorry for this negative post, but I really need to get it off my chest. I am hoping that everyone that is having a hard time and feel lost right now, will have a glimpse of hope and have the will to push forward, I am really trying to find that hope as well.

It is hard when a person is laid off ... it is not a reflection on you. Unless people have gone through it personally they simply do not know what it is like. I do .. it was like i questioned everything my performance and will i get a position somewhere else that i liked / pay etc
It can be a panic moment when looking for a new job especially if this was not planned for or short notice. Many people have done exact same thing you have done ...i have many offers I wonder if I should have taken.
Do not beat yourself up for declining but realize that you may find pay/ benefits etc vary by places and your next place may or may not meet your last job.
