A couple of years ago I had just ventured out on my own for the first time, I was in my apartment a couple of months, just gotten a new kitten, and got fired. Plus I'm pretty sure my ex-boss was black-balling me, which means I had ALOT of trouble getting a job, AND I couldn't get unemployment. Oh, and I had no friends to speak of (due to me standing up to a few), and using my family for support was a joke.
The only way I kept my sanity was to try to take a step back and look at things as unemotionally as I possibly could. I decided I was going to make a decision as to the steps I could take for any likely senerio, going as far as writing out an hourly schedule for the next day. And that's it! After racking my brain for hours and hours, I knew I'd come up with the best solutions for various outcomes that I possibly could. If something else occured to me I would try it, otherwise, I had to accept the fact that it was now out of my hands. Whatever was meant to happen would happen.
I could have thought of that time as a bad streak, and I have to admit I spent two solid days doing nothing but crying, but I tried really hard to find the positive and I found it. I'm in an incredibly better situation now. Getting fired from that job was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Try to stay positive. I know its hard, I'm sending good Karma vibes your way.
