Hey was made redundant from a job I loved in November. Was completely blindsided and upset.
I was very fortunate to receive a decent settlement which means I do not need to financially worry until June/ July
Btw I know this is a blessing and I am not ungrateful.
My work is quite niche (training in a specific industry) and is well paid which means my non negotiable outgoings reflect this
I am really struggling to find another role and I'm finding it soul destroying.
Everyone keeps telling me not to worry and to enjoy the time off but I am bored senseless and my mood is very low as I thrive on being busy.
Had an interview today for a role which would be great and a good fit - however it is hybrid based in London office 12 days a month which is not a problem apart from they won't pay travel /accommodation expenses and as I leave in the NE financially it would not be feasible.
I'm not sure why I posted this but maybe hoping for a bit of a pep talk or just making me feel better writing this all down!!
I wonder if I place too much emphasis on my self worth on work. Why can't I be satisfied having free time??
Thanks to those who have read so far
I'm appreciate this may be first world problems
