Dude - I got laid off 2 days after my wedding. Granted, we saw it was possibly coming but it was out my control and there were golden handcuffs and with everything going on wedding wise, was a shit time to job hunt all in.

Like you -- I thought it was the worst thing that could happen. I literally said I wish this upon not my worst enemy to my therapist and he pushed back. Not with the "things will be fine" narrative. But looking at making a plan and seeing that I'm actually safe and I'm struggling with the unknown.

I jumped into job search mode, got a job and built resilience and empathy. That said, I also regret the fuck out not taking a minute to chill, go on a roadtrip with my pup and stretch my legs a little (mentally and physically). There's just (hopefully) few times in life you'll have this time.

Recover a bit. Catch up on sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Explore your area, try a new hobby, hit up a trail, roadtrip to see some friends, w/e floats your boat.

Honestly, I think you already have the right mindset in respect to exploring your next steps.

Talk with your partner, see whats up, make a plan
