LinkedIn scares me

This is my first full weekday, where I’m not clocking in, and I paid for LinkedIn. I started looking at people who recently left the company, or got fired, and see they haven’t found anything. Maybe they haven’t updated their profiles yet. I haven’t signed up for unemployment yet (mom’s advice) because I might get something asap, or this month. I’m on a situation where I have 0 rent and bills, I just have personal needs. I haven’t touched my savings yet either. I’ve been applying to jobs before I lost my job, I’ve had three interviews planned before my firing. I have another one today. I guess my biggest worry is that my next role will be less pay ( i made $22 an hour before) or that I won’t get something fast. I also feel like this situation will give me ptsd.

This is my first full weekday, where I’m not clocking in, and I paid for LinkedIn. I started looking at people who recently left the company, or got fired, and see they haven’t found anything. Maybe they haven’t updated their profiles yet. I haven’t signed up for unemployment yet (mom’s advice) because I might get something asap, or this month. I’m on a situation where I have 0 rent and bills, I just have personal needs. I haven’t touched my savings yet either. I’ve been applying to jobs before I lost my job, I’ve had three interviews planned before my firing. I have another one today. I guess my biggest worry is that my next role will be less pay ( i made $22 an hour before) or that I won’t get something fast. I also feel like this situation will give me ptsd. I was already going through relationship trauma, which effected my work, so now add on listing a job I had for almost 5 years. I didn’t like the role, and my manager and me were like oil and water. He never had one good meeting with me, never gave good feedback. I can remember him say thanks only a few times. And I felt discouraged for the entire year of work with him. I know I was never going to win under him, because we never had any type of respectful relationship, and I told his boss about him, and then Retaliation happened. I’m pretty sure I was planned to be fired as early as last Monday, since he scheduled our zoom that day. It was shocking because I had a good work week that week and the week before and hasn’t made any major mistakes. I’m still at a loss.
