How do you cope up with losing a job so precious to you? I have lost my job about two years ago. And i feel so useless now. I dont think i would ever be back with the life i used to live. Am I experiencing depression?

If a person is willing to work, they can find it somewhere. If you get a list of all the companies in the world then apply at all of them, someone will hire you. It's all a matter of numbers. Hmmm?? Of course, this does take work. Are you up for the challenge???? I have a friend who lost their job. That's a bad thing-right??? Guess what. They found a better job with more pay and benefits and less work. If my friend never had lost their job in the first place where would they be???? Stop fighting change. Use it to your advantage. Stop being a victim. Stop thinking of what was. THINK OF WHAT COULD BE!!!!!

Oh yes it does. I lost my job eight months ago and it was and is horrible when I think about it because I want to go back to work again so staying at home is no good for me well hopefully there is mylot now. But I am still trying to find a better job to be myself again.

Depression? Yeah, sort of.. You're just taking it too seriously. Losing a job is serious but it's not worth it being depressed about it. It's worth it, though, to go and look for another one. That way, you'll get back to where you were before you lost your previous job. :)

well, losing a job is really something that could cause us so much depression if we love it. however accepting the fact of losing it and trying to move on by searching new job would help...
