Day 8 of Unemployment

[stinglikeabee]

I'm not coping with the stress very well. Even though I know the company is willing to rehire me now and there are people wishing me the best, it's still absolutely frustrating. My lawyer is incompetent and useless; she's the reason why the application was denied in the first place. Her mistakes have cost me my job and I'm going to be meeting with 3 more attorneys in the next two days, hoping for a reprieve. The red tape and the legalese involved is absolutely stifling, and I've lost count of the times I've been panic yelling at people down the phone line because I don't understand. One lawyer says one thing, the other disagrees; who can I depend on?

On a side note, is it possible to lose 10 lbs in two weeks? Because I'm down to 110 and it seems awfully unhealthy at my height (5'6).

It's possible and with the kind of stress you are under, not unusual. But that doesn't make it healthy. I know how tough this is on you right now. It sounds like you are doing all the right things, but you don't really have control over the speed of the outcome. So take control of what you can. Eat. Keep your calories up and try to get lots of sleep. I'm hoping for the best for you!

Thanks so much for the support! For someone who's used to being in control, this is a tough time. I'm doing my best to eat regularly too :)
