I recently lost my first full-time job, which I started in late July after getting hired in June. The reasons for my termination felt odd to me, and since then, I've been feeling really down on myself. It seems like I can only find work related to kids, which isn't what I want to do right now. I feel stuck, like I'm in quicksand, and I desperately need to figure out my next steps. I need to contribute to my parents' house payments and also fund my hobbies like pageantry and dance. Currently, I babysit on the side, but my existing commitments make it hard to take on more work. I'm unsure if I should continue with these activities or focus solely on finding a new job. My confidence has taken a hit, and I'm worried about falling into a depression again. Any advice or tough love would be appreciated.
