Misaka Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 After losing a job you loved very much? </3 Been depressed now for 2 days Only legit comments please Haven't been completely stable after this shock
MegaNaraku Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 It's normal. Takes quite an emotional toll. Last job I lost I actually liked I STILL want back. Takes a few days to get over it. Stimulants help. But just occupy your mind and you are a lot better. With anything you can think of. I played games, hung out, or just drove somewhere. Just keeping your mind occupied can help with the depression
mthor Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I don't know if it's normal, but it took me quite a while to get over losing my job at the doctor's office; I'd been there 6 weeks shy of 10 years. It passes, though, about the time you get another job.

It passes, though, about the time you get another job. My job was stocking but at $10.60 an hour I was quite happy but now I'm just so lost
MegaNaraku Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I had a feeling that was the case Yeah, once I got a new job and put my mind to work, it seemed to fade quite a lot. Just keep yourself busy, and if it was stocking, well, could go for Walmart

Distortedreasoning Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 finding a job that you love is not something that happens regularly. so yeah losing it would suck a lot.
mochi Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 After losing a job you loved very much? </3 Been depressed now for 2 days Only legit comments please Haven't been completely stable after this shock of course it's normal
Misaka Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 why did you lose it? Got into an argument over guest safety with my manager And he felt threatened because I told him to do it instead of me So main store GM took his side and terminated me
Misaka Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 finding a job that you love is not something that happens regularly. so yeah losing it would suck a lot. Depression also doesn't help me at this point
God-Says-No Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 eventually youll move on though it also depends on the job to if its worth the depression either
Ric Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 So long as you don't cry. If you cry, you're a pussy.
Distortedreasoning Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Depression also doesn't help me at this point probably not. my suggestion is to take time for yourself during unemployment if you can.
Hornshire Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Depends. "Normal" and "extremely" are very loose terms. And seemingly contradictory. Outside of context, We would say no by default. But answers outside of context are seldom of use. Is it common to grieve after loss? Yes. And generally in proportion to the level of attachment for the thing lost. In the particular case of a job, the best remedy We can suggest is to move on to the next one. Change doesn't happen immediately, though, so for the mean time, some thoughts that may be better to dwell on than your current ones: A job does not define you. Your career as a whole says something, but your current job is only ever that. You were qualified and capable enough to get your previous job. You are now probably more, but certainly not less, equipped to secure an equal, if not better, position. Nothing is permanent. Your previous job, and your next one. Your current mood. Everything... This, too, shall pass.
PhilosipherStoned Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I get pretty bummed loosing jobs that I loathe so.. I can only imagine.
MEXobiologist Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 i'm sorry to hear that probably it will go away once you find other work. you should qualify for unenjoyment while you are looking though, so thats cool. not sure if its normal or not, seriously speaking. i've never loved any of my jobs, so whether or not i left or was terminated, it was more of a good riddance type thing. i hope things look up for you soon <3
scoobdog Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Normal means a lot of things. Given that it was the result of an argument with a manager, are you depressed because you feel like the job was unfairly taken from you? That would be understandable and a healthy response, provided you don't hold on to that anger for long periods of time. Did you have the job for a long time? It would also be healthy and understandable because you've made connections with coworkers and you're familiar with the environment. You would grieve for a job in much the same way you would grieve for losing a community (when you move). Are you depressed because you're out of a job and you're panicking about finding new work? That isn't healthy.
Misaka Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 I had the job for 1 year 8 months with 401k as well as a bunch of other benefits This was Menards by the way But now I think I found one at Art Van warehouse the main headquarters which is offering more than what I was promised so this might be the sign I need Although I don't like seeing the terms on having to lift max 100lbs this might be a deal breaker now
MegaNaraku Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 That's an area I really want to avoid at all costs What's so bad about that evil empire huh?
ThisIdiot Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 i'm always depressed ...the last few years I've always said that if I have nothing truly worth living for by the time i'm 30 I need to up and disappear somewhere far away ....problem is always seems to come back to money...
Phillies Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Trust me its not as bad as you think. Its only a job. Imagine if you had real problems like cancer or mental health, or something. who gives a fuck. Honestly thats what I really think, please don't take offense.

It's completely natural to feel depressed and sad after such a HUGE life shit
Misaka Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 What's so bad about that evil empire huh? It's how it's ran is the issue
Swimmod_Luna Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 About 2 months ago I lost a job I hated and it still fucked me up pretty badly especially for the first few days after. Took a few days to recoup and then started the job search. I'd been searching for awhile before I lost my job but kind of gave up when I didn't get any viable offers after awhile. Once I had the freedom to apply and interview whenever I wanted to I found that I had a renewed energy in applying and managed to get a new job a month after I lost my old one. Just take a couple days to process what happened and then really start the job search. Apply for unemployment as soon as you can. If you get denied the first time, file an appeal. Not sure what the rules are for unemployment in your state but you should at least try. I was terminated from my position and still got unemployment, so getting fired doesn't necessarily mean you can't get unemployment. If you have anyone at your last job that you can use as a reference, try to contact them now. It will be okay.
bnmjy Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I don't know what that feels like, as I've hated every job I've had, but I'm sure it's completely normal.
Guest The Hound Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 After losing a job you loved very much? </3 Been depressed now for 2 days Only legit comments please Haven't been completely stable after this shock ] Bro. I've been depressed for over 5 years now. You need something positive, more positive than negative in respect to the biggest influence of your depression.] That being said, good luck getting out if. That shit doesn't happen over night.
Phillies Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Everyone on this forum has mental health problems.. I think there are a few normal ones.
