Just lost my job...

Hey guys, I lost my job today. Lately I have been struggling with insomnia and I have not been able to go to sleep til like 3 or 4... well this morning I slept through my alarms and didn't call my job til an hour after I was suppose to report to work (8am).. I arrived to work and worked a normal day like always, when about 45 mins til it's time to go home my manager steps in and says they are letting me go because of that. I have bills and rent to pay.

At this point in my life I am very unmotivated and don't have alot of energy and was just looking for a little personal support.

 

Are you on any medication? If not, go see someone about that.

Secondly, what I'd do in that position is get on welfare and get job hunting. There are lots of part time jobs to scoop up, even if it's doing something you don't necessarily want to.

 

Yes, I am on medication which is in part some of the reason why I have had insomnia recently.

Yeah, I was thinking of just finding just any work I can do until I can find another "Real" job where I can live comfortably.

 

You need to be consistent with an acceptable sleeping schedule. You also want to turn off all screen devices or light sources, and move it out the room if you can. Hope you can find new work soon.

 

I see you gambling a lot my friend.. I know you have rent to pay but gambling can destroy you and you will have even more problems. I know that its addicting (ive been into that) but you have to slow down man :/ I know it will ends bad... it always do. As for the job, theres alot of part-time jobs that you can find as said before. Also, you can even start a little business or work for someone here on Sythe during the time you are searching.

 

I would apply for some work with a gold seller here on sythe since you're up pretty late.

Good luck man!

 

I noticed that of myself too. Told Entrr to ban me from the DL til I can sort myself out financially. Luckily I was able to make some money in the past few days. So that is that. Now I can only move forward.

 

I agree. Yet here I am at 2 in the morning on sythe. I've been trying to lay down for atleast 2 hours and still cannot just fall asleep.

 

I'm sure if you put in the effort you can find another job very quickly.

Try Craigslist and search for jobs within your area. Depending on your skills, you can look through different sections, but for now, you can always find a quick job in the 'general labor' section.

A lot of the 'general labor' ads will refer you to a number to call that will direct you to a temp service, but it's actually a really good way to get a job, and quick.

Also, depending on your transportation and driving record, there's a ton of lawn care jobs, but you usually need to have your own transportation and a good driving record.

As far as the sleeping goes, you should definitely learn to meditate or learn to put your mind at ease. You could even jog around the block for 15-30min every night before you go to bed.

 

Runnimg before bed is not a good idea at all would just make it worse

 

the last thing to go on is medication. do that as a last resort. maybe drink camemile tea before bed or stay away from the computer screen, watch a movie do something relaxing.

As for the job, young guys can find jobs easily.

 

Sorry to hear man, as others are saying it's good you got yourself temp banned from DL that will help, also for the sleeping I've had Insomnia for 3 years now, the best thing to start out is get into a tight sleeping schedule. Pick a time that works for you too sleep every night and never stay up past it even if you really want to one night.

 

Sorry to hear dude I hope u manage to find some work and get better sleep. Wish you all the best man and cheer up

 

Physical exertion an hour or two before bed is a great way to aid yourself in falling asleep no idea why you'd think it would be bad. An exhausted body is a body that's more likely to fall asleep. Another thing to avoid would be staying on the computer or on any electrical device while trying to fall sleep the screen will definitely keep you awake.

 

This, I had use to workout right before I go to bed and use to sleep a good 7-8 hours a night and feel well rested.

 

We're all different, personally that wouldnt work very well for me, i would be way too hyper. anyways i got unemployed today ( thank god ) the job was really physically demanding so i was tired/bad mood pretty much all the time i know this is off topic so please dont report this post. But im pretty sure youll find something youll like or you could always go to a college and see where that would take you.

 

I already have a bachelor's degree in business from a public university.. which I graduated with a 3.5 gpa. You would think it would be easy to get a job, which I might need some tips from some people here.

 

You need to discipline yourself.

 

How would you recommend this, Ghast?

 

no one can make you get off the computer and get off sythe but yourself.
