I was laid off in May and it has been one of the toughest experiences of my life. I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom. Despite my efforts to stay optimistic, I can’t shake this overwhelming sense of despair. I keep replaying the situation in my mind, feeling like I've failed and it's hard to see any hope for the future. The embarrassment of being unemployed weighs heavily on me, and I struggle to find motivation to move forward.
