just distraught

I can't even put down words to explain just how shitty today/yesterday was. I was basically fired. Of course, that doesn't happen all that much anymore because employers don't want their workers to receive unemployment benefits. Last week my boss told me how valuable I was, and how I'd soon be looking at a raise and more responsibility. He told me he was always available to talk. This was the last face to face chat before I received a group email including an org chart that removed my position, changed my title, and put me under two other people. Mind you this is right after I committed to driving 2 hours and working a double shift. I responded to him, asking for some kind of explanation, or at least asking what my responsibilities were now.

I don't know how threatened I should feel. It's all very underhanded, and without indication. I'm concerned just how they'd act if I don't get out quickly. I'm terrified about facing this economy with nothing going for me.

Looking for work is overwhelmingly difficult for me. The last two times I landed a job, I was on the verge of suicide from hopelessness. Now I am forced to look into that abyss once more. I'm so tired. I don't know if I'll ever get over this. I definitely haven't mentally gotten over what was done to me last time I was forced to quit. (Work injury that the company refused to acknowledge)
