I Have Anxiety

I’m stressed out and anxious. Some of you that I’ve PM’d with already know why; I prefer not to go into details out in the open like this.

Long story short - I’ve been unemployed for a month after being dumped by my job. My apartment lease ends in April. And, I’m talking with the man in my life about reconciling, and this road has some bumps.

I just texted my two best friends, but I guess they’re busy because they didn’t answer.

Yes, I’m very anxious right now.

Our uber-insecure work lives must be seen as more than personal. It is a VILE symptom of everything that is destroying our human civic lives, where people are SUPPOSED to matter more than profit and greed...but no longer do. This has been building up for a looooong time in our culture and our politics.

And I know this wordy BS is not that helpful when you need work and purpose but I hope it does show the bigger picture a little bit. I was always in so much more trouble than you in my work life that you couldn't possible imagine, and now I'm aged out so I have a teeny tiny government pension so I can survive. But I am not proud of how I handled the problems you are having now.

My ultimate compassion goes to you.

I predict with some inspiration and good support from friends and some very smart planning and searching on your part...you will prevail.

In the future, maybe you can think about intentional community.

But at any rate, keep your networking tight and functional. My best advice 4 the moment.
