I was laid off yesterday from my role as a product designer in tech, and this is my second layoff. I feel completely lost and overwhelmed. The job market is so competitive, and I don't have strong case studies for my portfolio. My background is in psychology with a B.A. and a Master's in Education: Teaching and Learning, but I left education due to mental health struggles and a lack of passion. I had plans to stack money at this job and return to school to become a therapist, but now everything feels bleak. On top of that, I have a wedding in four months, consumer debt, and student loans looming over me. I’m not sure what I’m looking for by sharing this, but it feels like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel right now.
