Dear Yoman:
Looks like you need to be proactive, not reactive to your situation. How loss impacts your will is directly related to your perspective. Many people lose jobs, spouses, limbs even. And, many times these same people will turn those bad events into something positive. Of course, details of how you lost your job would help me to understand just how bad off you are but, I can tell you this: it isn't going to be the last time this happens to you. Statistics on American workers show that a person will change careers 4 times in their life. In your neck of the woods, that statistic is probably very different. However, in every incident of unemployment that I have personally experienced, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
You have the opportunity to reinvent yourself. Take advantage of it. Not everyone gets that chance. Feel priviledged because you really are.
Or, you can take this attitude:
In the Cat Stevens song "Moonshadow" he sings, "If I ever lose my hands, lose my plow, lose my land; if I ever lose my hands, oh if ... I won't have to work no more."

I end this note with something I tell anyone who reaches out -- The only valuable help or advice you'll get is that which you give to yourself. You can put this behind you, I am sure of it. Good luck.
