My self-esteem has been hit hard

Question

After sacrificing my health to save a patient from being injured I am now faced with health issues of my own. On top of that bad reviews from my boss have left me unable to find any other job. The only job I can get is the lowest paid job. I felt like my self-esteem has been hit so freaking hard. I was once a star news paper reporter at one time until that position was removed then I went into healthcare to make a difference. But I feel like it was all for nothing. Now I am looked down on and my former co-workers laugh at me behind my back. It's terrible.

First of all, consider this time as a time to start over positive in a new direction. Life is difficult now but it will change. Look into your heart to determine your next step. Many skills transfer into other positions and industry.
Second, the behavior of others is a reflection of them and not you. My current employer, I’ve had a superior who sits next to me laughing at me because I was having a stressful day. I didn’t respond to it making her look foolish. 
Thirdly, you’re going to get through the situation and come out stronger on the other end.
