Constantly battling with issues of self worth and suicidal thoughts since I've got laid off so that's about it. Being a migrant, who is laid off, who is/was a sole bread winner does the trick I guess.
I feel for you. I've battled self worth feelings through out my career as a lot of my identity was tied up in my work and the fear of failure.
I've since found a new perspective that's helped me transform my identity and self-esteem through therapy and journaling about my experience/thoughts. I still have negative thoughts, but I see them as independent things to observe and not part of my core self.
This is your story to write and other people's opinions are just that their opinions which is "none of your business". The layoff is not a reflection of you. You are worth it and things will get better.
Thank you. You are right - it is just a relatively darker time, so to speak. Going to therapy for a while now - to solve for a ton of trauma, as I don't want to pass it on to my potential future kids so to speak, so it helps.
