Still so depressed after redundancy

I lost my job a few months ago completely out of the blue. It was quite traumatic, I was the only person made redundant and I only received statutory pay.

I found another job quickly but it's in a different industry. But I miss what I was doing before and I just feel lost. I've had to start at the bottom again in this new job and I feel the last few years have been wasted.

I used to want a career but the redundancy had made me distrustful of everyone and made me think I'll never have job security or a career. Working in my original field is hard as there aren't many places to work near me. I feel I should have it together by now but this has shattered everything. Some people told me redundancy would be the best thing to ever happen to me but I'm yet to believe that.

I’m sorry this happened. Please don’t underestimate how traumatic being made redundant is. It was only a few months ago so don’t put pressure on yourself to “have it together” after such a short time. You found another job quickly so someone wanted to snap you up clearly! The time in your last field will not be wasted, nor will your time in this one. Take your time to process the upheaval, and things will be clearer going forward. Flowers and good luck x
