Today I felt terrible for myself.
I signed up for women in tech and i feel isolated because I don’t nor at their levels of seniority. I felt shame and when i tried to speak I was being spoke over. I understand how hard and respect on how hard worked they did to get there. It seems why bother going at this time. Maybe my expectations being treated equally was in my own head.
I am sorry just feeling sorry for myself being unemployed, scared and not wanting taking any job just because. Age is a big factor and being 55 took a huge hit to me today.

Feeling terrible and not in your zone is perfectly normal. It's part of the journey. Don't beat yourself over it. Understand that your employment status is feeding that feeling of less than. It's happened to me. Quite frankly, it think it's happened to us all!
The biggest thing you can do for yourself is aknowledge it's a temporary feeling and situation and don't unpack and stay there. Dust yourself off and get back at it.

I'm in the same boat and have the same exact type of days. Working out, going for a walk helps a ton!
