As a journalist and lifelong sports fan, my job as a sports writer and editor was a dream come true.
When your job is suddenly taken from you, it’s shocking. Although physically I was in the meeting where they explained it all, I really wasn’t there. I vaguely remember hearing them talk about my last day and a severance package, but I was in such a trance and daze, it really is all a blur.I just didn’t anticipate that losing my job would hit me so hard.
Once I worked through the anger, I started to get sad. Time off no longer felt like a vacation. It became the new normal, and that’s when my battle with negative internal messages began. The occasional freelance work I got was great, but most of the time, I still felt like I was alone on an island. I started to think I was a fraud. My mood was often bad, and since I was in my house almost all day, food was always around and I gained weight. It was a bad cycle.
