I am so sorry.
I know how you feel. I was laid off from a job I really liked in february. It sucks. I have never been laid off before.
The social isolation is the worst. I have gone thru all kinds of emotions, from nonchalance to depression, to anger and then acceptance.

But I created time for painting and I didn't have that before.
Sometimes there are blessings in strange or what seems like a bad situation.

It seems to be happening to alot of my friends.

I am still waiting on unemployment to kick in. I am still weighting the pros and cons of getting another 40-50 hour a week job.
It's so good to have the time all of a sudden to see friends and do things I haven't been able to.
I was in food and beverage so I never had a life.
