   I know I'm just an anonymous person on the Internet, but no number of lost jobs is worth killing yourself over. I'm proud of you for reaching out to the suicide hotline, and for going to your parents where you can be safe.

   Oh noo!
   I'm glad you chose life and chose to reach out to your parents to help! I have a family member who experienced this and his doctors said he was 'spiraling down' which meant he was functionally depressed. He had to get on medication to help and he needed the right support, diet and rest to get thru. He couldnt work for a while. I hope things get better for you. Don't give up on life.

   Thank you for the link. I've read it and it is giving me some hope. I will admit, I'm feeling the same as the author of this post. I'm starting to feel hopeless and wonder what will happen if I can't find a job very soon.

   Good for you for contacting g the crisis line. Keep reaching out.I have been there. I almost took my life after losing my job and a discouraging job search. I also happen to be a therapist who worked the crisis line. If you live alone, please see if a trusted friend or family member can stay with you and seek connection or support. You are not a burden. Get out of the house even if it is for a short walk. Please seek professional help. Sending you virtual hugs and positive vibes and energy.

   It happens to the best of us. Do not let job loss get you down!! Work is just one facet of your life. It sounds like you have a supportive family and are on the right path. Hang in there... know you arent alone!

   Thank you for having the guts to talk about it. Just speaking out may have saved your life so put that down as a win!! Seriously, some industries play tougher than others. A living wage and mental health are worthy goals in and of themselves. Bless you!

   Courage, you have not lost Courage to speak out. Take that home and now just be present. Get outside, reflect and breathe. You are worthy and your impact matters. You're doing a VERY healthy step with stepping back and going home. Get back to that normal and start again. Every day brings a new chance. You don't get a certain amount of chances before the next step is to give up. That is not a step.

   I am so glad that you are here and speaking on this. I'm so glad you have taken steps to save your life and you may be saving others in the process.

   While I can't say my experience met that exact feeling, I was fired from 2 jobs within an 8 month period and struggled with a feeling of wanting to "disappear". I have no idea how much any of this will relate but I can share some of my story and maybe you can get something from it, even if it's just feeling less alone. When nothing seemed to be working for me, my confidence was at an all time low and I felt like, even though I was constantly trying to do things for others, I was just perceived as a negative impact. Thankfully I started therapy before the second loss even happened. At the time, I tied SO much of who I was to my career and to peoples perception of me. It didn't seem to even matter how many times I pleased anyone, any time anyone was displeased it felt like daggers. I also started to get angry. I'm smart, ethical and a good performer and felt like I was doing what I was "supposed" to do and yet I saw others get rewarded while I was unhappy. It felt so unfair. Therapy helped me understand why I tied so much of my identity to work and others perceptions which helped me work on changing that outlook, and a mentor I am lucky to have helped me to get more in touch with who I really am and appreciate my personality and strengths for what they are and accept and even embrace that where they don't seem to work just means they are in the wrong place. Kindof like that saying, "If you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life thinking it's stupid" or something like that.

   I got better at finding and putting myself in the right environment and now I am happier and more confident than I've been since maybe college days. I have also done work internally to really unravel my identity and worth from my "work".. redefining what it means for me to be "good". I'm still working on that but I've come a long way. Looking back I'm thankful for the experience. I feel resilient. I think that is one thing you could look at for yourself if it helps. You didn't just lose 6 jobs. You landed 6 before that. You kept getting back up. Thats hard and takes a lot of strength and skill! What do you think it is about you that has helped you keep finding and landing work? Maybe that's a clue to your talent and you could lean into that more!

   Any way, I hope you get all the support you need and am really proud of you for taking these steps. Your life is worth SO much more than what any collection of company's think of you. We weren't put on this earth to work. I'll leave you with my favorite quote which is Ralph Waldo Emerson's thoughts on success:

   "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”

   I was once hospitalized at the mid-point of an 11-month unemployment stint. I luckily had a husband astute enough to see the warning signs and get me to talk to crisis intervention who got me admitted into an inpatient program. It helped me to get my medication regulated (I do have a major depressive disorder associated with PTSD) and my head pointed in the right direction. For me, it was the right thing, and I was grateful for the experience. Please take care of yourself. This is not worth your life. You will get through this.

    Please be encouraged and get the support you. There’s a reason for everything. Look at what skills resources and supports you can gather. I’m loosing my job soon, this will be my second time in Les that 18 months. But, I believe and hope things will work out for my good. The same for you. Don’t allow those negative thoughts to grip you. Speak good things over yourself and spend some time connecting and networking there are a lot of job board hiring. You can do this!

    I have felt this way, you aren't alone.

    Like you, I give 150% only to be told too bad.

    My last role, supervisor had someone from a different department write instructions for me to follow that were purposely written wrong.

    My life, like many others, has been a career of instability- temp jobs, legitimate layoffs, companies closed. This was the final straw that snapped.

    Before she fired me, I had an accident and out on workman's comp. Yep, WC, not FMLA. Keep in mind I had done several projects at her request. NO COMMENTS or feedback. I had my routine duties with her as well.

    Day I returned within 15m, she told me goodbye. My parents had to come over (I'm 50) and literary rescue me. This was August 2023.

    It was awful
    .
    Remember, YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that sometimes we are put in bad places but know when it's darkest is when you see the stars.

    In my daily recurring tasks, I also include some favorite quotes.

    I do encourage counseling, NOT because you are "crazy", etc, but to help on s new path. Keep the career- or find what YOU are talented at and it will help with the idiots in the office

    I am so very sorry you feel this way and I'm really glad you're reaching out to people.

    It can be horribly demeaning to lose a job. I've had this happen once and I felt nearly worthless at that moment. I can't imagine losing multiple.

    Whatever has happened, know it isn't you who's at fault. Take time for yourself. When you're ready, perhaps you can go to school or take a course to improve skills or master a new one.

    You're invaluable, and no job loss is worth taking your life. You are far too precious for that.

    If ever I can be of any help, please feel free to reach out to me.

    What you are feeling is valid. I am glad you are taking care of you. Remind yourself that the job market is NOT about you or your skill set (or lack of). It's an overall hot mess of mass confusion & games. Please take care of you. Ps I am an attempted suicide survivor. Permanent action for a temporary situation is not the answer. Please take care of YOU.

    Hey how are you I can relate to your story I lost jobs as well and some walked out of most I’m starting to learn that we can’t let our emotions be in control of our lives we have to be responsible and stronger towards people and our self we can’t control the outcome of how people treat us or others words how we treat ourselves we’re what we put out and what we put in if you can overcome a bad headache you can overcome a bad job that didn’t work out don’t be too quick to blame yourself and think hurting yourself is the answer try a different hobby maybe go workout exercise gain some commotion over yourself try reading about the next person that lost his/her job think anything besides hurting yourself at the end of the day it’s only a job a job that comes and go.Don’t make it like it’s a substance problem

    You are not alone. Losing your job may have triggered your depression, and I suggest weekly therapy. The world intentionally makes us feel insufficient, but you are actually rich. You have a place to sleep, shower, and eat. Bad things can feel world-shattering when we are already depressed. I went to therapy for three years and avoided social media for 1.5 years to gain perspective and define my own values. You are not alone. Look for a different field of work if you need to. I think we are the first to let go in those circumstances because of confidence... As a recruiter, I can tell confidence can make or break a candidate.

    Best wishes moving forward.

    Hello. Please seek out a mental health professional and do it knowing there is no shame or embarrassment in doing so. I know from reading other posts that this is not abnormal, many are experiencing dark feelings and questioning their value after they loose their job - AGAIN. I am them! I had to remind myself of my faith, how I did this before and navigate a surgery (yep, had to get my own insurance too!). Please go to your parents and seek the help you need to come out on the other side with a different prospective. Sending hope and wishes of success.

    I had to see a psychiatrist for medication after the process started of shoving me out the door (it was cruel). Medication and therapy held me together until I found another job. I searched for jobs near my family, so when that job was eliminated I didn't feel so alone as I would have been moving to a random new state. All losses are tough to handle, especially the loss of the feeling of self-efficacy and a sense of being able to control our future. I hope your parents will give you the love and acceptance to move forward. It sounds like you ask for help when you need it, so I feel good about your future even if you don't.

    You are worthy of amazing things. Everything is fixable. Jobs do not define you. It sounds like you have an incredibly loving support system which is a blessing. Also, please seek a mental health professional to help you through this. You will find what brings you joy.

    Recognizing how you feel and reaching out for help show that you have really good, mature qualities within you. Sometimes life just knocks you down over and over like the waves on a stormy sea - and, like dealing with the ocean waves, sometimes you just have to ride it out. But, the time spent riding it out can be a time to let yourself heal and to reevaluate what you want out of life. Please don't give up. Night often seems the darkest before dawn.
