I never thought my life would implode the way it did three years ago when the company I worked for close to thirty years shut down because of the global recession. Up until the doors of our corporate headquarters closed down I had never imagined myself working for any other company and being in a totally different field but it came to us as a nightmare and it was, crippling my family financially and breaking my spirit in many ways that I can’t even begin to describe. I suffered from post traumatic stress disorder after I lost my job.
I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t function normally all I did was sleep and my wife was beginning to worry that I might have a full blown nervous breakdown so she decided to intervene and schedule me for grief counseling to help with this devastating loss. It took me approximately six months of counseling and the support of my family to get out of my depression and put my life back in order. I found there are resources on the web to help me look for a job similar to what I used to do like http://myemploymentoptions.com/ and it was really helpful in giving me a second lease in life.
