I was laid off from my job a week ago and I can’t seem to get out of this horrible depression. I live alone so I am home all day with not much to do besides look for employment. Recently I have had no funds or desire to even get out of the house. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Tonss! I am actually in a similar slump. My hours were cut and I’ve had a great deal of alone time and have become depressed from all the loneliness However, i always have several “go to” cheer up things.

First, is this site. you’l meet tons of people such as myself who have been or are in your spot and can guide you through it or at least lend an ear.

Also, subscribe to Brave Girls Club’s daily truth emails. They are very motivating and uplifting.
(heres the link: http://bravegirlsclub.com/subscribe-receive-daily-truth-little-bird-told-emails)

Happy.me is another site with positive words.
thequietplaceproject.com has several rooms to get some weight off your chest in clever ways as well.

Things you can do for yourself are order some self help books. an example of a couple are “be your own hero” workbook by angela shelton which can be found here

and is very useful. another is Freeway which is helpful and fun even if you are not religious which i am not http://potsc.storenvy.com/products/949297-freeway-workbook

all of these are good starts and affirmations are always a plus. say them out loud each day until you believe them
and feel free to message me if you’d like to talk

Thank you so very much Krisin!! This site has helped me out tremendously. Maybe that’s why I’ve been so down lately. I haven’t been active for a few days. I checked out the Brave Girls Club and it seems like a great group of women. I also liked them on facebook so I can keep up with them. It’s always nice to know your not the only one going through tough times. :)
