LAYOFF: Depression Vs Attitude – Doing Something Opens Opportunities. A mix of frustration and doubts about one’s own abilities can leave the professional inert, and as a result, miss out on good opportunities.

Given the current economic situation in our country is not very favorable and, consequently, generating a large negative atmosphere, cases of post-layoff depression are being triggered. Opportunities arise from where we least expect them, and standing still is not an option. With this very concerning scenario, many people who have lost their jobs are experiencing physical and mental health problems, thus compromising their potential and performance, as after all, who is truly prepared to face this type of challenge?

The fear of being unable to pay bills, depending on family members, or never getting back into the job market is a common feeling in this context, contributing to illness, and many lose their identity. This fact directly affects self-esteem, causing deep sadness, insomnia, loss of appetite, or increased compulsive eating.

In extreme cases, it leads to isolation and depression.

The support of family and friends is essential in this process, and often, psychological assistance may be necessary.

FEAR OF FAILURE

Unfortunately, layoff is psychologically associated with one of the greatest fears that humans face in life: the fear of failure and the fear of rejection. What needs to be understood is that one cannot control everything in life; sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Of course, each person faces this gain or loss differently.

Therefore, seek help, believe that in life there is always a way out, and that an ending can indeed be a new beginning.

BELIEVE in a new tomorrow!
