I am 32 years old and yes... I competely broke down and cried like a baby! It felt very good afterwards but for the life of me I cannot tell you why I was crying. I just feel defeated, helpless and sorry for myself.
Funny how much we define ourselves based on a job, tittle or career path. As a Projects Manager, I felt proud of my tittle, office and income. Now I have none!! So who am I? I struggle to talk about my last job in past tense... for some reason I need a current state other than unempoyed to be able to move on. I saw myself as beeing more grounded and deeper than this? Is it just me or is this a stage in the "healing process" for the unemployed?
Someone send me the 12 step process for getting out of this slump please...
