Struggles Continue...


Last week was a tough week.  As I sit here tears are streaming down my face.  All my co-workers are in a meeting now.  I have chosen not to attend.

The short of it is come December, I will be unemployed.  That in of itself brings on so many emotions.  Our company got bought.  The new company has decided to get rid of the finance team and have their company do all the billing and finances.  They have given me 6 months to teach them everything I do.

I have been at my company for almost 7 years.  I love my job.  I’m so good at what I do.  I love my customers (all 400 of them).  The past two years I have received the top rating for performance evaluations.  I work hard.   And it’s all for nothing I guess.  Our finance team has been so strong.  We all work so hard and work so well together.  And in a few short months we will be unemployed.  I understand in the business world when a company gets bought that is what happens.  It still doesn’t make it feel any better.

Last week was a tough week.  A lot of the postpartum depression symptoms came back.  And I know it’s because of yet another change in my life.  I cried in my pump room.  All I have wanted to do was sleep.   I’m unmotivated.  I have anger which I’ve really seen when driving.  I’m still taking Zoloft but maybe it’s time for a higher dosage to get me through this tough time.  My eye has been twitching for the past two weeks, most likely due to stress and fatigue.  I came into work on Friday and my stomach just started hurting so badly.

I’m so bitter.  I’m so angry.  I’m scared of change.  I’m frightened of what is next.  I believe in myself and what I do and that I will find a job.  It still hurts like hell.  I feel like I’m being kicked to the curb.  I feel like I’m worth nothing.  So many emotions. 

I’m trying to exercise a lot and get rid of this stress and anxiety and fear.  It’s something I can control in my life right now when I feel like so much of my life is out of my control and I hate it.

I know I should be happy that I have 6 months to find a job.  Hopefully take a month off in between to pull myself together and then start fresh. 

I’m trying to breathe.  I’m trying to take one day at a time.  I will get through this huge change in my life.  A change I don’t want.
