I'm a 25-year-old feeling overwhelmed by the constant fear of layoffs in my current job. Even though I still have my position, the uncertainty of the job market is weighing heavily on me. I'm actively trying to grow and learn more in my role, but that fear of losing my job never really fades. On top of that, I'm in a situationship with a girl I really like, but I can't see a future together. The thought of marriage or building a stable life feels unrealistic right now, which adds to my anxiety. I find myself torn between focusing on my career and the fear of losing everything if I were to get laid off. Sometimes, I think maybe I should just dedicate myself entirely to work, so if I do lose my job, at least I won't be dragging anyone else down with me. I've seen others share their experiences, and it seems like saving as much as possible is crucial. I've heard stories of people getting laid off and struggling for months to find new jobs, so having a financial cushion sounds like a smart move. Keeping my resume updated and staying connected in my field also seems important, but the emotional toll of all this is exhausting.
