I was fired from my job yesterday.
Not to much to say except it could be a blessing in disguise.
When you finally wake up after 9 long years of depression sometimes you realize that there is more to life than what is immediately in front of you.
Instead of sitting on the couch and eating, instead of playing hours upon hours of video games and instead of feeling sorry for myself, I went for a run as soon as I got home from work. It wasn't a long one. I didn't run the entire time but I moved. I moved and I sweated and I thought about my future.
I thought about where I want to go and where I don't want to return too.
I thought about who I was and who I want people to see.
So here I am, unemployed.
The true test begins.

I too believe everything happens for a reason. You'll find a new work "home" and they'll be lucky to have you! Keep your chin up, it's all good.

Tara, I was fired from my job on 2-22-10. Very tramaric for me. It took me 4 months to find a job and I started my new job 2 weeks ago.
I'm still finding it a struggle, I'm not sure about the new job yet--don't feel/can't see my place there yet. Even though the folks at the new job have been very freindly and welcoming.
The best thing about my unemployment was finding CK.
Sigh, best of luck to you.
Cheers,
Maureen

Well, that sucks! Better things are out there for you. You've accomplished sooo much this year. Be the best Tara that you are and don't let *them* win. Sometime you will have to be *still* and listen to your innerself. Safe journeys.... ((hugs))

I don't like tests like these. The good news is you have a great support network here and on your blog. You can and will get through this.
But it still sucks. Please lemme know if you need me to call Pookie and Ray Ray to take someone out.

You have my sympathies, I've been unemployed for a while myself...but you have a ton of great skills and you're sure to find something great soon.
Keep moving! Keep strong! We're all cheering for you.

You are so right Tara, this could be the best thing that ever happens to you. You are in a good place and I hope the next job is everything that you hope for.

I'm sure it is stressful even if it DOES turn out to be a blessing in disguise. So I'm glad you started out by addressing the stress in a healthy way instead of relapsing into old habits. I hope you find some great new opportunities soon! You are definitely the kind of person who will find a greater purpose in the project of rebuilding your life in so many different ways all at once.

Tara - so sorry to hear this. Even if it isn't the worst thing in the world, it is probably unsettling. I hope you give yourself time to reflect and grieve if necessary, and then the best of luck in your future employment efforts!
