It's been a rather jarring and depressing experience thus far. I wasn't that social to begin with but now I don't really go outside much besides for a run and groceries/errands.

Towards the beginning of July I got laid off and I am now coming on 3 months of unemployment. This is the first time in my young adult life that I've been truly unemployed in the past 5 years. It's been a rather jarring and depressing experience thus far. I wasn't that social to begin with but now I don't really go outside much besides for a run and groceries/errands. I don't feel comfortable spending money on anything besides rent and food yet it's still kind of debilitating looking at my bank account. My savings are alright and I'm getting unemployment payments but it doesn't feel right to have a decrease in my account every month.

I keep looking for jobs but there are virtually no updates week by week in terms of positions in my field and close enough to my previous wage. I'm just kind of sad and scared really. I want to plan out my life appropriately but that's hard for me with unemployment continually hovering over my head
