The Long-Term Psychological Impact of Being Laid Off​

It’s been half a year since I was laid off, and I can confidently say that I haven’t fully recovered from the psychological trauma. In fact, I realize that this experience—and others like it in the workplace—will probably never be forgotten. The initial shock and disbelief have faded, but the feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and self-doubt linger. It’s a constant reminder of how quickly things can change in the professional world. I’ve been working on rebuilding my confidence and exploring new opportunities, but the scars remain. It’s a long journey, and I’m learning to be patient with myself. #LayoffRecovery #MentalHealth #WorkplaceTrauma #SelfImprovement #CareerChallenges
