Well I have just had the worst day of my life, I just lost my job and I am just having a bad overall day. The bottom of the barrel really sucks. I dont know where to go or what to do, just at a loss.

Dont stop, never give up!

Gather all your inner strength, and plow forward with confidence, and you will come out the other end wondering why you ever felt so down.

Grit ya teeth, and dig in!

No matter how bad your day is, there are always people worse off.

Think of kids with cancer, Japanese people right now etc etc.

It can only get better for ya :)

Sorry to hear about your job and a bad day. Keep your chin up, eyes on the road ahead, tires on the ground, tail straight and roll on the throttle. It will get better - we all hit rough spots sometimes - they are meant to teach us about ourselves and what we value.

Sorry to hear about yesterday, and losing the job, but it's a new day today!

Go do what you need to, then go do something for yourself and make it a better day.

My trade is Bio-Pharmaceutical manufacturing, currently I was working in large scale commercial manufacturing.

I have an AAS in Environmental Sciences and a BS in Wildlife Management, with 9 years auto parts sales under my belt.

i feel for you and i hesitate to write anything. what can a guy in nc say to help out a guy in ny who just lost his job? even so, i'll give it a go and hope this helps.

about 8 years ago i resigned (i know it's not the same thing) from my job. i thought it'd be easy to get another job in the area. close to a year later my wife and i packed up and moved so i could get a new job. i'm still doing that job and love it. but for those 10 months where i was looking for a job... horrible! and that wasn't under the current economy.

even though those 10 months were bad, i wouldn't trade 'em. difficult times can crush you or they can make you stronger. what happens is up to you and your reactions. for me on the other side, i learned a lot, grew a lot, and now have a job i could have never imagined. i really wish you well during this. i'll be praying for your eyes to be opened to the opportunities before you and to learn all you can. good luck.

You're educated and experienced. Hang in there and sooner or later things will work out and probably for the better. Good weather is just around the corner too.. take advantage of it!

I know the feeling. July 1 of last year, I was laid off. Insurance expired August 1. Had my wife arrested and filed for divorce later that week (long story, not gonna get into it). It can be rough at times.

I was unemployed for over 2.5 months. But on Sept. 20, I started a new job with nearly a 20% payraise, and much better benefits than any job I have ever had. I have custody of my kids while going through the divorce. Things get better.

Been laid off 3 times. . . Business's closing. Each time things did get better but it wasn't an easy road. I'm in the medical field now. Make a way into that medical manufacturing field and go for it!
