Hopalong:
Yes. I think you can trust yourself, Boat.

You can be apart without being angry.

It is still sad and feeling whatever goes through you is healthy.

There's no perfect path, just what feels like the best choice you can make.

Big hug,

The book I was going to send to my mother well I might send it to myself. It couldn't hurt for a refresher course in self-help. Though on the otherside I just want to get on with life.

Hopalong:
Never hurts!
You won't have to read self-help forever, one day it'll all be internalized.
But a great time to reach for those books is a time like now, when life events have made the bruises ache.

hugs

So feeling a little anxious and lonely. I've been working at current employer for about 5 years, today they let us go, I handed in my badge already. We knew it was coming. They are outsourcing the work out of the country. They told us our final day would be end of April but surprise today they told us this is the last day at work in the office. So I get paid leave until end of the month. Normally I would work tomorrow. It should be positive but I feel a little too much turmoil right now. In fact I am worried about the unfinished work I left behind. I'm worried about the future etc. I'm going to spend the next couple weeks trying to get caught up on all my medical and dental stuff still and maybe I should try to do my hobbies.  I don't feel like going out tonight at all but I sorta wish I could hang out with my coworkers right now. Next week we have a girls night out planned already. I need to make sure I'm being productive, maximizing any benefits I get. I'm not expecting miracles I just want to survive without wasting time, without getting depressed etc. Chilling out tonight. I think in the morning I will feel better. I haven't done yoga in it like 5 years maybe I should try it again, don't know, don't exactly feel into it. Everything I had going on pretty much has revolved around my job, for the money. Money is pretty much the best friend and family a person can have as far as I'm concerned. I'm so old I don't want to go back to school it seems like a joke almost however I am interested in what sort of training benefits are available.

Sorry, G, that is a lot for you to cope with, especially with just losing your nan and all the family turmoil that's attached to it.  For what it's worth, I think your approach sounds very sensible - practical, functional, hobbies to keep you occupied - all things that help in these sort of situations.  Might be good if there are any sort of training options available, even if it just keeps you busy and is something else to put on a CV.  In the UK they often offer online courses that are quite short and focus on practical type computer skills so people can do them from home if they have their own internet connection or go in to the library or job centre to use public ones.  It might be that there's something like that available - it might whet your appetite for going back to school!  Let us know how you get on, a yoga class sounds like a nice thing to do :) xx
