Feeling Sad!
Apr 26, 2010
Sorry this is sort of off topic but I just wanted to be sad for a bit and thought someone might understand. Yesterday I found out that I was losing my job for sure as of July 31. Long story short, back in January I got a new job (and nice pay raise) within the same organization as a career counsellor. The program is government funded and the government has been re-organizing the way they deliver service. So 1 1/2 weeks after I started they told us that our current contracts would be ending on July 31. Then we would have to interview for a new position under the new contract. Here is the problem the job description is changing and therefore we may not be qualified for the new duties we would have to perform. Well I interviewed and apparantly did not do so well, and they feel that I am not completely qualified for the new position. So I am losing my job. I have been with the YMCA for over 5 years in a different role so I am hoping that I can continue to do something with the organization in a full time capacity, but I am sure it will mean a serious pay cut. My hubby and I were just getting on track financially, even opeing an RESP for my sons education fund, and I was super happy and confident with my surgery and weight loss and really believed that when I got this job in January that I was on top of the world and that 2010 was going to be the best year yet. Now all of that has come crashing down on me and I just feel worthless. I want to continue to do my job everyday until we are done, but the hard fact is, my co-workers in my current office were successful and will continue to work in their jobs so it kind of sucks. They are super awesome people and have been really sensitive to me but it is still hard for me.The really hard part has been normally I would have eaten these feelings away and I cannot do that anymore. Last night I had a spoonful of peanut butter as my comfort. I really don't want to eat my feelings anymore, but it is finding that place in myself that can deal with this without eating is hard. I think I might have to start working out hardcore now. Hopefully that will help. Up to this point I have just been walking and stretching and running after my son at the park. Time for the gym.
Anyway, thanks for listening/reading this. Its nice to be able to vent to people who get the emotions of eating and stuff.
