Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off?

If I imagine being in your situation, I’d probably feel comparably off track. I mean, it probably feels shit to be laid off. And it is perfectly okay to feel shit after something shitty happened. Now the question is: how long is it “ok” to feel that way? I’d argue this is very individual.
I hate it when people on social media pretend to be able to give diagnoses, like “This is a depression!”. This is not a medical forum, just random people saying random stuff.
However, I would seek professional advise on your situation. See a doctor or a therapist. It will help you identify techniques to deal with how you feel - anxiety, depression, or just normal reaction to something negative happening to you.
Also, speak with friends. They might have made similar experiences in the past. And even if not, it just feels good to get stuff off your chest.
