Is getting laid off scary because you don't have a job or any income anymore or maybe good since you don't have to deal with them anymore

Really depends on how much money you have saved, your skills and the job market. I would imagine all the other people that were laid off with you will be trying to get the same jobs as you, so you best be one of the first to apply.
It does put stress on you, and the longer it goes the worse it gets.
Keep an open mind for opportunities, and think positive, something will come up.

Getting laid off in an economic downturn was the best thing to ever happen to me as far as work is concerned. We had to scramble for a while, but we ended up where we needed to be.

It inspired me to make some changes, start two businesses, and i had a great 20 years, work-wise after that.
